Its not very economical anymore to rebuild heads. I see a set of Edelbrocks or RHS heads from IMM in your future.




Yep...what he said.

Quality Machine work here on the West Coast has become very expensive in the last decade. I would really consider an aftermarket head before spending more than a few hun on OEM heads. A set of RHS heads, complete with decent springs can be had for around a grand and will most likely WAY outflow those J heads.

The other thing to be looked at is that "impressive" porting job. FLOW BENCH!! Otherwise, you'll never KNOW what's going on there. Case in point: Just tore down a 340 bracket moder for a friend that had ported X heads. Whoever did them was as "artist". A really nice LOOKING job. Threw them on the bench and while the intakes flowed a little better than stockers, the exhaust was ALOT worse than stockers.

Looking forward to your progess on this project! Should be fun!!!
