Eddy Heads with HP Manifolds? - 03/22/11 03:40 AM
Are there any problems with using HP manifolds on the Eddy heads? These have the angled plug and I wasn't sure if anyone has used this combo. This is for a 383.
Thanks

FWIW, MP offers the Eddy head with straight plugs.

Any reason you want to run those expensive heads then use mani's? If you want an aluminum head and still want to use mani's you might be better off w/ the stealths. What else is going to be done to the motor?

They are definitely cheaper than having your old iron heads rebuilt if you include having them ported so they flow what an eddy or a stealth flows .

I did do a gasket match. I don't recall the manifolds requiring much work though to match up to the gasket.
Straight plug heads are a better match for the HP manifolds. I switched over to a set of CNC ported Mopar '452' aluminum heads in my car. The CNC ported heads make more power and the straight plugs allow a little more room around boots.
