What are the draw backs, if any to the exhaust raised port location in a b/e body stock engine location/stock suspension situation? My goal is 600 horse 426 cu inch street build. To that end I have Hooker slip together headers, mild solid lift crane cam, Milodon gear drive, Indy single 4 intake, 850 Holley. I need to buy heads next, so here I am looking for advice.
As stated above, any head will fit your needs. That being said, the best bang for the buck is still the Edelbrocks. The price has gone up but any head will end up costing as much by the time you get them done. I haven't heard of the raised ports causing an interference problem for anybody. The only minor thing you have to do is use a sanding roll to clearance the top of the cylinder for the large intake valve because you are 4.25" bore. Easy-peasy. What this will give you is brand new aluminum heads and the best high flowing ports. There's no way I'm going to pay the same money and not get brand new, latest tech, good stuff.
