OK...I still haven't replaced the heads on my L-82, 79 bracket racer, for those that remember my fiasco with DB. I liked the Patriot heads my local Murray's Speed and Custom shop is selling for $877 assembled with springs supporting .580 lift. A buddy just sent me the link below as a good deal. I don't know enough to differentiate a good deal from a headache. What concerns me about these heads is they don't show the chamber. I want vortec shaped chambers and they also mention using Jessel or T&D rockers. Good stuff, but I don't need to spend that much money for the kind of power I plan to make, about 425-450 HP. I'd appreciate the opinion of those in the know on cylinder heads. I'd choose the 195 runners with 64cc chambers for my application on a 355 engine. It will have a hyd roller cam with around .540 lift. The car needs to be very streetable and run on pump gas with 10.5 CR. I'm also planning to use an Air-Gap intake and a Holley 750 DP carb. This is the head link:
