  • Good heads

    What are some good head to put on a 1987 Camaro Iroc 350tpi motor?
    I wouldnt mind spending good money for good heads.. Give me some options, my dad and i are talking about dropping the 350tpi in my car or building a 383


    1989 Camaro RS - SOLD
    1991 Camaro Z28 - SOLD
    1987 Camaro IROC-Z - current
    When the rear end's loose, the car's fast. Loose is fast, and on the edge you're out of control.

    go 383 and don't look back. The cost of the build is very close. I would look at a good set of AFR heads. They are pricey but worth it.

    A good resource for this question would be thirdgen.org.

    And another thing.....when I gun the motor, I want the whole world to think it's coming to an end.

      Personally, I would be looking to find a good head porter, then discuss your goals with them and take their recommendation on what heads to run and what cam to run with them.

      On the 383 thing, if you already have an assembled 350 ready to run (kinda what your post sounds like), no sense in not using it if it's in good shape. You can still make great power/torque with it. If you're starting from scratch regardless of displacement, as mentioned I'd go with a 383 since the cost to build will be pretty similar if you're going with a whole new rotating assembly.

        Corvette L98 heads (aluminum) they're bolt on. Don't waste your money on stock ported heads. The cost vs. gains isnt worth it.

          You could also go a vortec route, but you'd need to change the intake set-up as well. What's your budget???

            Like Shawn said......Bang for the buck will be the L98 aluminum heads if you can find them.
