Gonna bite the bullet

[AdamR]

I think I may sell my magnum heads and save up for a set of edelbrocks.

To use the magnums I'll need springs, retainers,locks and seal, A valve job, slight mill to clean them up, machining for retainer clearance with my cam. and a intake. About $800 when done.

I could swap on some new springs and hope for the best but I'll end up kicking myself in the end. And If I went with a smaller cam I wouldnt have to machine the guides down.

Another $600 gets me the Edelbrocks.

I think thats a good move. :thumrigh:
Did you get into the garage you spoke of?

 

[AdamR]

The car goes in the garage this weekend.

I figure if I sell the magnums heads it will only cost me an extra $600 to have a much better head to start off with.

When you're ready to buy, check this place http://stores.ebay.com/UnlimitedSpeed-Performance-Parts That's where mine came from. The beat both Summit and Jegs on the price.

Hey, maybe you could get Brett to buy them for you. He's got some extra money to spend right now.

:laughing:

 

[AdamR]

Thats a good idea. What do you say Brett ?

 

[Cuda66]

I guess he ain't listening

Where do you see Edelbrock heads for $1400? When I got mine I think I paid either $1100 or $1200 for mine from summit. I went through the same thing thats how I ended up with Edelbrock heads also. For a stock rebuild, nothing fancy, of a pair of J heads all the shops around here wanted $800 also.

Thats including the ARP bolts and gaskets to put it together.

I still think the Magnum heads are the way to go for a milder build up but I think it wont take long for me to out grow them.

This is true! I don't think I even have 2000 miles on my motor yet and I have thought of some stuff I would like to do to it allready!

Fast cars are like crack except, its only my wallet that seems to get buzzed!

 

[AdamR]

I getted buzz every time I drop the hammer :mrgreen:

 

[onehellofadart]

After you finish the motor It will be like you
just popped some viagra :burnout:

 

[AdamR]

Tony get that motor dialed in so I know what mine will run. Im pretty much building the same motor.

What kind of compression are you running?
