192cc runner

flowed 292 on the intake and 243 on the exhaust

2.02/1.60 valves

1.52" double springs...i guess its setup for a solid roller cam

$800 used!

or twisted wedges used for the same price.

grab those heads YESTERDAY...

those heads offer some serious flow potential, but the stock pistons are really limiting what youre able to so, you might also want to swap in a set of different pistons that will let you run a lot more duration than the stockers.
if youre set on keeping the stock bottom end, call Jay at Cam Innovations, and have him make a cam that will work with those heads and the stock pistons.

if the heads are already set up for a solid roller you can (obviously) get a custom solid roller, or a hyd roller and the springs will be fine for just about hyd roller you can throw at it.

any 7/16th roller rocker (1.6 or 1.7) will do, just make sure you check ptv no matter what.

I'm picking up the heads...no doubt about it before I drop 800 cash for the heads is there anything I should check on the heads being that they are used?

check for cracks around the seats at the exhaust valves. i believe they used to have a problem with that, but that was on the old style heads

Yeah, you are going to need to have the pistons cut to run the 2.02 intake valves on stock pistons with the Canfield heads. The Twisted Wedge heads will clear without machining. Unfortunately, without magnafluxing the heads, you may not see any cracks with the naked eye.

Is there a way to tell if they are the old style or the newer style?
