hey guys im doing a HCI swap and i just bought a holley cam out of the systemmax kit! and im gonna buy these cast heads theyve been flow benched, ported, new valves , 5 angle valve grind and new springs,the headswere used just for a little bit and are still new condition. and im kiinda strapped for cash and was wondering if i can use my stock rockers and pushrods? and if it will still perform good?

also what kind of lifters should i buy?

the guy owns a mustang shop and he said these pretty much flow as much as most aluminum heads!

 

what brand head? flow charts mean dick. dont listen to a salesman/mech do some research first.

 

factory roller lifters will be fine as for the rocker set up buy a set of roller rockers..not worth the hassel using factort pedastal stamp steel ones and having to clearance them to clear the retainers and you need to check valvetrain geometry to verify correct push rod length..don't short cut it cause it may cost you more in the long run

 

ok theyre like old 302 heads from like a old mustang! he said hes got like 2k into them but ill get the specs tomorrow from him, and are you sure the factory lifters will be fine my cars got about 220k kilometres on it? and he said on the herads theyre like 7/16 atuds or something? so what all would i need to replace the rockers?

 

i wouldnt spend 2k on factory "old 302" heads.......unless it was for a class were that is all you could use

 

lol ya i know but he had them on his old mustang and wanted to keep it looking stock lol! but he wants 600 for them so itss not too bad of a deal i dont think!

 

ld be asking for receipts and a person to verify everything man to man.


Dont be that mislead, every dollar buys a fool.

 

If it has studs, you're going to need new rocker arms. New pushrods too, hardened because those heads SHOULD have guide plates. Why not save another $400 and get some edelbrocks?

 

I'd take that $600 and get a set of GT40 heads and brand new roller rockers.

 

ya i wanna buti cant find ANY F***** gt40 heads lol ive checked all of the auto wreckres and that and just cant find any lol!
