By the time I fix his 452 heads, I’m 70% there to 440 source alum heads. He is really tight on money.
70% of the way to the selling price? Or the price including shipping? Or the price, plus shipping, plus having them checked out?
Well when you figure EVERYTHING, more like 50%. New bolts, better head gasket. He has cast iron manifolds and intake. I imagine I will end up with fixing the old 452. I can get him up to about 8.8 or 8.9 CR and use a smaller cam with about 218@.050 and survive. I may have to fly cut the pistons a little for clearance. Comp says their cam with a 110 centerline is ground with 4 degrees advance already. That’s as big as I dare get.
