Default WOOOOWEEEE bought some better heads!

well, as some of you know, i bought a 347 shortblock that im going to be building.

Well, the heads i was going to use were edelbrock performers. I was gonna spend 4-500$ and have them ported/polished and extensive bowl work done.... So, i figured i could sell them for 7-800$. 800+500 = 1300! For a head that would still be insufficient! So, i found a really good deal on some Trickflow 190cc Fast As Cast heads, so i bought them.

Just thought id share my happiness




oh - and if anyone wants a set of edelbrock performer heads with ferrea valves and nice valve springs, lmk

yeah... the cars getting an S-trim

I havnt done any figuring yet, but the heads are 64cc and the pistons have a 14cc dish... so, somewhere in the low 9's for compression?

Thank you sir! . I bought them off a guy on corral for 1390$ shipped, brand new in box. Came with a set of (lightly) used 320$ Trickflow 1.7 stud mount RR's too. not a bad deal eh?

I figure my next build I'll use those same heads on a 347 in a road race setup. They're hard to beat for out of the box power that's affordable.
