You do not need Alum heads AFR/DART/Brodix to make 500-600-700 HP at the crank. I have seen plenty 700 hp 496 with worked over stock Iron heads. Just look at the link i posted earlier. My Iron heads have been used on 680 hp BBC with no work done to them and pump gas. Check out some builds by David Vizard.

hey i was wondering if 500 for a running 427 with big oval heads is a good deal or should i hold out for a 454

1971ls1longbed · 10-24-2010, 06:32 PM

its out of a truck

ripdog28 · 10-24-2010, 08:04 PM

Out of what kind of a truck? Find out if it is a tall deck block. IMO it would be worth it.

djracer · 10-24-2010, 08:42 PM

I would not buy it if its a tall deck truck motor. Get the casting numbers and you can tell for sure.

1971ls1longbed · 10-24-2010, 11:50 PM

its out of an early 70s stake body truck

djracer · 10-25-2010, 08:10 AM

Its a tall deck I would stay away. A454 shouldn't be that hard to come by.

new in box, built for a customer that bolted..
they wanted 1600oo but I have no need for the springs,etc
so I said i'll take them for 1100.oo and you can keep the springs/locks/retainers/etc
they where like, na. but at the end of the last day, i stopped by again, and they gave my the heads and said keep the valve parts/springs/etc.

dart iron eagle 308,s jmo should produce plenty

1971ls1longbed · 10-28-2010, 12:16 AM

ok ill look into iron eagles any other options

ripdog28 · 10-28-2010, 02:23 AM

I have not touched my Dart 308cc and i can not get the 30in tall BFG Drag radials to hook at anything under 50MPH. For the $$ im glad i got them. David Vizzard uses these on a lot of builds with crazy results. You also need to figure the brackets and other stuff for a BBC if you dont have it in your budget. Gets expensive fast. But is well worth it.

Well if you're using them then they will definitely work for my build. As far as a cam goes i was looking to do a hyd roller setup any recommendations on duration and lift

ripdog28 · 10-28-2010, 10:58 AM

My cam is small but nasty with this set up. I have been told by a very reputable builder (Wolfsplace, AKA Mike Lewis) these heads like to go with a mid 240 int and a 250+exh. So 10+ separation. Lift depends on your Springs and the pistons you end up with. All honesty, if you want serious power call up Vortech pro. Best bang for the buck unless you want to build it. IMO, i would have went with him if i found him before building mine. I dont regret getting mine but he would have saved me some $$. Also figure a roller will set you back $1000 Springs, lifters, cam.

1971ls1longbed · 10-28-2010, 03:23 PM

I am going to assemble it myself

ripdog28 · 10-28-2010, 05:48 PM

I have about $4000 into my engine but had some killer deals on the parts. I can not complain about it one bit.

1971ls1longbed · 10-28-2010, 06:10 PM

im doing alot of careful shopping i do want to keep my costs down but im sure i can build an awesome rat with the help u have given me

69trk · 10-28-2010, 10:57 PM

I have 3800 in mine. Came with dyno sheets and everything, carb to pan. I also have rectangle 088 gen v heads that makes good power.
