A 225 hi port will lay waste to a vic jr, now if they are 7721 Vic's thats another story. What was the cost on the vics? Heres a 428 I am building for a customer with a cobra kit car with 225 TEA Hi Ports

Hey woodsy, I'm just curious to your opinion. I understand "customer knows best", but wouldn't a small block do more justice in a kit car. I know down home here we have two. Both have tko600's but one has a 428 and the other has a 347. The li'l ole 302 that could kicks his *** everytime. Just seems you'd need a lot more power with the big block to make up for the extra weight and rotating mass.

Its a glidden/victor head, "usually" above 95% of peoples building ability to use it correctly. I would seriously reconsider a vic jr for the money hes going to pay for them.

This guy wanted a 428, its a world 4.125, 4.00 inch crank setup, solid roller, TFS 225 HI ports etc etc, it will make 730ish on pump gas when were done with it. Her had to have it, you know older guy with alot of money

I getcha I getcha... Guess I was just thinking that since it was a kit car and is so light, you'd look to follow the trend.

Keep in mind vic/gliddens require a custom header, shaft rocker and are only typically used a 4.125+ bore size. Its a serious all out competition head, not likely what he is looking at. Google Victor/Glidden 7721
