In a car that could be used to complete Drag Week?
In other words.......... Streetable gearing and converter?
Closed exhaust?

Before you pursue this any further, serious consideration should be given to adjusting the budget, or your expectations.


A quick search revealed 2 sources selling 48* W2 heads P5007445AB for about $400/ea bare.
Ultimately, I think this is going to be the least expensive way to get into a 48* top end.
Off the top of my head, I'd say that with the basic machining needed, and "middle of the road" hardware, some minor porting....... You'd still easily spend somewhere in the $2500 range to have a set of ready to install heads.
Then you still need rockers, intake, valve covers, W2 headers.


Which bring up a good point. cast iron and starting to get like hens teeth!
If your going to go down this route IMO it would be cheaper the embrace the G3 platform.
But once again just my opinion.
