so the 165s would be good for the 347? also are all upper and lower controle arms the same or is there really a diff between the summit upper/lower arms and the bbk upper/lower.

the website is down but i have a chart that compares aftermarket heads

right now but i'm going for canfeild heads and second was AFR 185's but with the 185 you'd have to notch your pistons

Yeah, the 185" would be good for the 347, but like 91 stang said, you would have to have your pistons notched. Unless you go with the twisted wedge heads, that compare to the 185's valve wise, then you may not have to notch your pistons. The AFR heads are very cheat at Central Florida Motorsports, and its free shipping.

the trick flow trak heats are really good heads... also i've heard some good things about edlebrock

but some of this advise comes from people who have only tried one type and don't know how the other ones would perform

so unless you wanna buy all types and try them and then sell the ones you don't like do lots of research... don't just go by what just one peson says

how far do you plan on going with your ride? drag or street?


you might benifit with suspension if it will be street but you prob aren't making enough power to need to worry bout handling

you'll prob just benifit from sub-frame connectors mor than control arms
