I just took block into Indy cylinder head to get bored out and I'm just wondering what everyone is running on their magnums as far a heads go. I have the stock heads that came on a running engine but I know they are prone to cracking. So with that said I was thinking of going a different route. Car is gonna be a street /strip car pump gas friendly with 3:55 and I will run a stall. I wanna get the car into the mid to upper 7 sec range which I don't think will be hard in my 71 dart. What heads and cam do you guys recommend and who to get it from at a reasonable price. Thanks
 
As far as a street driven vehicle running 3.55's with good manors, something like a cam like;

212-218 intake
220-228 exhaust
Under .500 lift on a 110

You could cam it a bit more with a 230 intake duration.
That is approx. A 2000-6000 rpm range cam.

Summit racing has very good prices.

Makes me feel good. The little hydraulic roller in my 5.0 goin in the Bobcat is .477/.506 218/224 on a 110. It has a Ford 8" with 3.40 gears. Oughtta work good with the little T5. I hope I get to find out.
 
Make sure you buy heads with the LA intake bolt pattern. The Magnum bolt pattern has only a few intake choices.
 
Pro-Comp iron, bought them bare for 200 a piece and used everything off my old heads. Machine shop said heads came in great condition with guides and seats needing no work.

Sweet combination, R.R.R.. Someone I worked with,overcammed a 302 (Comp 284XE) ,same gears/C4/Tci 3500 converter. Ran mid 13's at Famoso,.no tuning.(11:21@119/175 shot) Too much can,my opine. That grind falls right in line,with that low gear T5.
 
I can tell you if you want the EQ heads, STAY AWAY FROM ODESSA CYLINDER HEAD !!
