Sending old heads to a machine shop will probably cost u as much as getting a pair of the pictured ones.
Hey Greg, thanks for the suggestions! That's the kind of info I was hoping for So no issues running the same set up on your 400 SBC vs a 350?

Summit sells these head individually correct? My local machine shop gave an estimate of $400 per head to fully rebuild..wish shipping across the border wasn't soo expensive through Summit though..

What kind of HP do you think your buddy is getting with this setup on his 350?

BTW, I found my 350 in your fair city! Drove the old girl up there and back in an afternoon and she didn't miss a beat. Calculated my US MPG for the trip and I got 15.8! Not too bad for the old girl..
