Default Heads

Oh, you said HIGH horsepower FEs. I probably shouldn't respond until I get mine running better.

My heads are C4AE-G castings with CJ sized valves installed. If you spend around $800 on them they will flow as well or slightly better than out of the box edelbrocks.

But the edelbrocks aren't that much more expensive and you can run another half a point of compression.

I have a set of MR heads for my next motor with a sidewinder intake. I guess I'm more interested in the nostalgia of period parts than all out performance.

I'd _really_ like to build a tunnel port motor some day.

Sorry, that probably didn't help you at all. But maybe presents a different view than you will likely get from everyone else.
