    i need performance heads

    i have an early 80's sbc 355 i need some real good heads for it it has domed pistons. i want to put a thumper cam in it with roller lifters better push rods and some nice heads. i have stock heads on it but i want to put better heads on it. it has a edelbrock performer intake with an edelbrock 650 carb on it right now. if any one has some nice heads or even a thumper cam i would be interested.

    Look at jegs! http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/JEGS-SB-C...50801/10002/-1

    These heads are actually Canfield heads for the price you can't beat them! about a grand for the pair normally they run closer to 2 grand through canfield...

    These heads are identical from what i am told and mass produced for jegs to stamp their name on it. They flow amazing and are good quality but not the best "AFR" But they flow damn near AFR levels.

    These heads are designed for flow and will do great on a higher RPM engine... if you switch over to a roller cam try something with a tall power curve and these will do amazing.

    Good luck!

        This is more what your looking for http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HRS-110335-10/ you want a power band around 2,500-6,500 maybe bigger to take full use of the large intake on the heads. Extra duration is not going to hurt at all either. A high RPM machine will take full use of these heads.

        And this is a retrofit cam made for engines that did not come with roller to start with. The duration is a bit much so this will be a little more difficult to tune. Also keep in mind your going to need a larger stall converter to match the cam, and an intake that will also operate at the same power band without choking itself off.

              Dont get a thumper, they just make noise. And get a Bigger intake, and carb. For heads, Id just get some Vortec Patriot Peformance heads.
