Budget 360 engine - 06/22/10 07:32 PM

I'm putting together a 360 (.030) over, flat top pistons, purpleshaft cam .484 lift. I got a good buy on some stock heads #3769974. These have 1.88/1.60 valves. Can I use these with that cam or do I need to have 2.02/1.60 valves? Also what would be a good intake manifold? Thanks

yes ..you can use that cam with those heads....just check the exhaust valve to make sure they have regular retainers and not rotors...


ok...make sure the intake and exhaust retainers look alike...LOL

And make sure to use the valve springs that the cam calls for. Like said above make sure not to have rotators and if you do ditch them for 8 regular retainers to go with the correct springs.
the 1.88 valve heads will not hurt your performance a bit and may in fact give you better low end torque over the 2.02 heads.

what they said on the heads and retainers(if you need 8 more,give me a yell )

you will know the rotators when you see them,way diff than the intake retainers

it uses a shorter spring on the exhast valves

I would go with a LD340 or an airgap intake
