Well, good news for me! I thought the heads I had stashed away were 906's I dug them out tonight and find that they are actually 452's Now to clean them up and magnaflux., These are large valve heads, but I think there are slightly larger valves available ( for sunken seats?) Would it pay off in performance to use the largest valves that will fit?..............................MO....sw iowa ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joey" <jake4@xxxxxxxxxx>

I know of at least 4 cars that have the same combination of ported 452's with MP .590 flat tappet cams and Holley street Dominator intakes that are consistent 10.70 cars with little maintenance and I consider that cam to be a dinosaur with todays available grinds.Joey----- Original Message ----- From: "SB" <polecat2@xxxxxxxx>To: <1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 22, 2009 11:38 PM Subject: RE: 452 Heads QuestionIn the early 1970's, when the Hemi was gone from NASCAR, Richard Petty had some of his best seasons. He used the 346 heads on his cars then. I agree that the 452 heads, which came later, are the best common heads. ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
