speedmaster 440 heads

I`ve got those heads on my 505/440 in a 68 barracuda fastback. there is "NO" room for " any" heater blower, short or other wise. I put an old fashioned hotrod heater under the dash , mostly just for defrosters in case I get caught in the rain. the intakes are a little longer than the exh., but their close, and uniform. Used a set of 9.400 push rods, " I have a brand new extra set" if you need them. used hughs rockers, and they are offset on the intakes. the heads are very quality looking, and are standard port cnc`d. We did check the coil bind, and put compcams 10* retainers and keepers on them . And I did have to work on the pushrod tunnels even tho they are cnc`d. They flow 352 @ .0600 lift, and I am very happy w/ them so far. I wanted to run lashcaps on the valves , but they messed up the geometry too bad. no shims under the rocker shafts, and the rockers are perfectly centered on the valve tips, int. and exh. she feels like it`ll run like gangbusters. haven`t stuck my foot in it yet, as its not broke in,and had a few other issues to deal w/ --hope this helps w/ you alls decision on the procomp victor type heads.--------bob
Hi ,yeah figures bout the blower lol . Bob are saying you're using the valves supplied with the head and found the retainers (springs) and keeper are the only thing you changed out?
As far as rockers, I see guys run a .600" a .650" offset and need some massaging of the push rod tunnel and procoms sells a '.610 offset.. assuming it is deck height depended

These heads have the best casting for long term potential to make some really big power competitively
(for now) I am running stock deck height and a low lift of .518, I know of which is nothing to take advantage of these heads!!..
Bob your pushrod length sounds about right... edelbrock recommending "approximate" 9.500. subject to change with decking and cam height?
Do you have any pics of your bay Bob?
