The story on the heads is the local shop said he wants to do guides, seats, valves, the whole shebang 1500
He mentioned sbi and si and I wanted something a bit sturdier as I will be driving this like a maniac. Maybe not much racing but bagging and impressing are more my style. I hope the ferrea's will hold up. I did have a 289 that a guy here did with ferrea's and he showed me the stock valve open a bit and I couldnt see nothing. he did the same with the ferrea and I could see right out to daylight. He knew his stuff. Unfortunately he retired. I may try to track him down as he was a fanatic I couldn't imagine him not having a personal shop at home still.
I am building a 66 383 and have the 2315 forged flat tops. the shop said I would be good with those to at least .500 so I went with the comp XE274H-10
274 int./286 exh.
0.488 int./0.491 exh.
I hope thats gonna clear it with the 1.74
Sorry to highjack qkcuda but you all seemed so knowledgeable here I figured it was my best shot.
