I am looking at head options for a 350 motor, bored 30 over. Flat top pistons and one of 2 cams (not fully decided yet). Cam spec I am leaning towards is a COMP Cam for 2,000-6000 RPM 230/230 and .480/.480 lift or an Edlebrock 234/244 488/510. My over all goal is a strong running street motor for a 1972 Chevy 2wd pickup. Basically I am looking to get from 0-60 fast, but not worried about past that except for occasional highway trip, but that would be cruising speeds. I am running a edlebrock proformer 2010 intake a holley 650 avenger carb and for now stock headers to cherry bombs (not enough money in budget to get my better headers). I am also running 8mm spark plugs and the HEI.
So my head options:
Low end: iron head - 190cc 64cc with 1.94/1.50 valves for 279
Mid Range: iron head 210cc 64cc with 2.02/1.60 SST valves for $399 (for $100 more I can get screw in studs and hardened rods)
Or the higher end: Aluminum head 190 or 210runner with 64 cc 2.02/1.60 Cost $595
All heads have been check/worked by shops with good reviews etc.
Will i get that much gain from one head to the next? What would you do on a tighter budget? I can afford all 3, but the higher price means sacrifice elsewhere...
