progress on 23 bucket stroked to 545 cu,in.
Fordsbyjay in response to your post i didnt say that my cast heads were the best heads around i just said the speedshop said i had excellent heads for my build and aluminum was a waste of money for my build and he has been in business for more than 20 yrs. And i beleive him.- retired49

You have to remember this is not a race car it is a very nice steetable engine build with power to us....a set of aluminum heads are a wast of money for my build. I cannot hook up what i have . Putting aluminum heads on would be like putting nitrous on a waste of money..- retired49

progress on 23 bucket stroked to 545 cu,in.
I had a set of 1968 cast iron heads reworked by the local speedshop. I was going to go with aluminum heads but the speedshop said they could do more with the 68 heads as long as i wasnt worried about the extra weight- retired49
