LA318 Edelbrock Magnum v RHS LAX Heads
Like the Title Says: "LA318 Edelbrock Magnum v RHS LAX Heads"
No mention of "EQ Heads" or "Airports" in the thread title as I am not interested in either at this point in time........
Budget extends to either the Edelbrock Magnum head, or, the RHS LAX Head, not interested in changing pistons currently.....
No disrespect intended....
Many Thanks for the interest.......
I hear you loud and clear regarding the "EQ Heads" (just having a hard time staying quiet about them) but they're really worth taking a look at.
By the way, EQ stands for EngineQuest and they are a Magnum style head. They also cost less than both your options mentioned since you did mention budget.
The part number 318B (I believe) is drilled for an LA style intake. This is what I have on my engine. It was built by Brian of IMM Engines. It made 403 HP @ 5,500 RPM and 467 lbs (I believe) @ 4,500 RPM. I could be a little off. I will soon fire mine up in the Duster maybe this weekend.
The quick details are EQ Heads, CompCams XE268H cam, 9.6:1 CR, AirGap intake, CompCams roller rockers, Holley 750 CFM on a stock stroke 360.
Keep in mind, if you decide to go Magnum style head (any brand) then you need Magnum style rocker arms.
We don't want to confuse you or anything, but just want you to make an informed decision in order for you to get the most out of your money.
Here's my engine on the dyno and I attached a pic of it sitting in the Duster:
