since I purchased the new 48* block got to thinking if Eddy heads can be made to work at the new angle without too much trouble?

I know the Indy's can, edelbrocks shouldn't be too terribly different. Just clearance the pushrod holes and run somewhere in the neighborhood of a 1.65 rocker arm.

indy can make there 59deg head work on a 48deg block they charge a 1000,i personally would have ryanj do it,to him its simple and u know its right..there is a set of 360-2 indys on racingjunk now, ci size motor u want to build is ideal for those heads,u wont be disapointed with those heads...easy 625hp pumpgas reliable street/strip deal with that combo

You have to re-machine the pushrod holes, they will cut through the gasket face. Some clearancing may also be required of the manifold. The W2 AB heads had this.
The 48 degree Indy heads have additional material on the gasket face and the different pushrod holes.
It might be best to sell the Edelbrocks now, and upgrade, as it might be harder to sell them once you have modded them for the 48 degree block.

I am sure Ryan will chime in with more info.

I have a set of 48° W2 heads Mike that are fully ported, and I have TD rockers for them as well. Call me if your interested!
