Hi Guys,
im in the process of building a 408 for my valiant. Due to the lack of money i have to do it step by step. I don´t have cylinder heads now, dream about using the RHS X-heads in the future. With a bunch of other parts i got a set of rebuilt 318 Heads and wonder how they would work on the 408. What do you think about, is this idea totally BS or will they work to 4500 rpm for example? Just want to check if i can use them to get the car on the street with V8 (sorry to the slant 6 lovers, it´s a great engine but i need more power.....:-D), later i will swap for sure to another head with better breathing capabilities.
Please let me know what you think about, thanks!
regards Michael
