Re: 400 - now heads?

[Stan Kafouse <skafouse@xxxxxxxxx>]

Why? You can run lots more compression on cheap gas, plus the closed chamber lets you get the quench corrected. There not used up thirty year old junk either. Bolt on 60 horsepower, need any more reasons. Run 11 - 1 compression on a 360 on 87 octane, 18 mpg runs 10.90 at 123. I personally give those heads , rods away happily to who ever whats what I call junk.
