Another opinion question

Cave man I'm from Erie Pa. any farther North I'd be in Lake Erie or Canada. Thanks for the reply. It's nice here I'm close enough to the Mopar Nats and the Woodward Ave. dream crusie so I can go to both......If my wife lets me :thumbup:

I'd Like to stick with the gears I have. The car as it sits is an ok light to light car with the 318 that's in now. I'm looking for something thats launches hard even if I'd run out of motor in the 1/4. Plus don't you think with the right cam and intake with those eddy heads I'd make more power then the Crate motor?


435 hp from a non-magnum engine, will be a little harder
to get,than from a Magnum.
The Magnum design has better flowing heads,
and a better rocker ratio,thus giving more lift to the cam,too.

If you have the Edelbrock heads slightly ported,
and use a cam of larger than "street" normal use,
I bet that, yes you can make 435 +hp. :)

The heads ported start to get pricey tho. :(

I have heard about some new "Magnum" heads that are supposed to work nice too.
