Thanx for the heads up on the Edelbrocks needing a round port header. Didn't know that. That is where this FGF list is a huge benefit. Lots of guys with these little "unknown" tidbits. You guys are all great!! But I am still looking for an answer to my first question. If I can pick up these (small) 15 heads (that have been redone) for a good price, is it going to be a performance boost by getting the cr to the 10 : 1 range? Somehow they made 360 HP in 1970 with the smaller 1.96 / 1.66 valves. (Some sort of magic cam recipie?) I appreciate all the opinions on what new heads to buy, but unfortunately the money tree dried up and died a few years ago when I had kids. $2000+ just for new heads, then likely another $400+ for cam, pushrods & lifters, and I haven't even opened up the motor yet. Ouch! I'm hoping Rick W & I can pull the engine in the next couple of weeks. Can you believe someone painted it red?? Yuck, it just looks wrong in there!!
