i wasnt sure with the light bulb, haha. What would you recomend for a set of heads since you have built a pretty mean engine?

I Had a set of Vic Jr.s on the car but I cracked /broke one (lengthwise?)
Completely my fault BTW, Too much ignition advance combined with a 300 shot .
Oh well live and learn (I hope).
The car did run its best N2Otime 9.12 @ 152.44with these heads though.(That would be before I broke it)!
Currentlyon the caris a pair of Canfield Part# 20-450-58C. 2.08" Int. 1.625" exh. 58cc chamber.
Ran 10.74 @ 130.18 NA with these Torquey bad boys!
Vic Jr. is an open chamber head, Canfields are a closed chamber design.
Either one should do you right on a large mill,topped 600hp NA with both.
Vic Jr. 647hp @ 7400 rpm 359 cu in.
Canfield 615hp @7100 rpm (364 cu in.) Don't Ask!

no a R head is not too big for a 351w. Now the 225cc or a ported might be..

Yes they were ported to match all gaskets.Chambers received O- rings and very light smoothing.54cc BTW
13.8:1 actual comp. w/ domed Venolia slugs. .043" copper head gasketsw/ Hylomar sprayed on both sides (Gasket Sealer) seal it up.
They also have 2.08" Int. and 1.625" exh. valves.
2" long tubes w/ 3 1/2 " collectors let out the bad air.
Canfields on motor in picture.
