Rhs 360x

Well for the OP. figure out what you want the engine to do and go from there. With a 268H, I don't think the RHS would be the optimum choice. There are some others that might be better. My suggestion... talk to and buy from someone, like Brian at Indio Motor, that deals with this stuff every day. He'll get you dialed in to a set of heads that have good characteristics for your intended application. Heads, like porting, isn't a one size fit all deal.

As far as try to run the RHS head with a .600 lift camshaft, I'm not buying the heads other than BARE... That way I can select the appropriate components to make them work for my intended applications and not throwing money away on useless components from assembled heads. Buy e-brocks for the same application and plenty of parts go in the trash. Pretty tough to grasp sometimes, but, when you want to run stuff that has inherent limitations, you find a way to make it work. Wow, having to run a long valve or cut a spring pad to get installed height, that's never happened on any other head, EVER!!! :toothy10: MP stuff is notorious for CRAP. IMO, the work required is not a deal breaker if you want to run the RHS heads. That's what this entire hot rod culture was built on... making stuff that wasn't optimum work out!

Indy SB stuff, 360-1, 360-2, ootb sucks without significant work, so that's not a bolt on either. They require a lot of work to make right. Even the cnc stuff needs some help.

None of this stuff is hard to do with a competent machinist on board!
