does anyone know anything about the edelbrock top end kits (quality, reliabillity, ect.)?

 

IMO, Edelbrocks quality, is dollar for dollar as good as any other manufacturer quality. Buy with confidence.

 

They don't make junk. They're decent setups, but you can get better power with a well thought out selection of individual parts. If you don't know how to do that, then the Edelbrock top end kits are a good deal. Takes the guesswork out of it and you don't end up with mis-matched parts

 

victor jr heads are kick *** though, dont let some of the more "exotic" names fool you.

 

i'd much rather buy the top end kit than have to shop aroundfor individual parts.but if i could buy all of the parts individually forabout thesame price as the topend kit i woulddo it. the "exotic" names do scare me because i don't know what brands are good.

 

Is this the kit you are getting? If so, IMO that is a very nice 365 HP kit for a very good price.....

It is hard to spec your own top end, this kit simplifies things a lot....

There will probably be some detractors, [:@], but I think you will do very well with this..

 

I dident see hardened pushrods, with valve guide plates in the heads,you must have hardened push rods.

 

yep,,, no pushrods or rockers in there......[:@]

O/P is going to need those pushrods.....

 

how much would it be to get those things? besides this top end kit, what do you guys recomend for the most power increase?

I know you will need pushrods, I do not know if these are the right legnth for sure, but this will give you a price.... Edelbrock will know what legnth you need...

You will need new rocker arms too. the stock 5/16" will not work, you will need 3/8 rockers. Edelbrock should be able to tell you what ratio you need.
