ALUMINUM CYLINDER HEAD RECOMMENDATIONS ??
Hey, Guy's: I'm at the point of wanting to replace the D0VE-C cylinder heads on the 460 in my 30 Model A Coupe street rod. In the interest of weighing less, and a little bit more octane tolerance, I"m at the point of saying "just what do I want"? First of all, it's not a drag race motor - basically it's just a street rod cruiser, with a little extra power. D9TE block, stock bore, and stroke, stock early rotating assembly, Crane Hydraulic cam similar in spec. to the 429 CJ hydraulic, and a Blue Thunder 2X4 set up with Edelbrock carbs. I've been looking at the Edelbrock aluminum heads, and never realised that there's three to pick from, so - what do you guys recommend, something other than the Edelbrocks? Just don't say "Procomp"!! (LOL)

TFS streets if you don't want to change pistons But the Eddy's will do just fine on the street

With that small cam the SCJ heads may go on w/o redoing the intake valve relief. Is this a dished piston?

I know he didn't want to hear it but, that IS the exact purpose of those heads ... they are not a race head.
They are large combustion chamber though and he seems to need a small combustion chamber.

I'd use a set of Blue Thunder CJ heads cleaned up a bit.

I just bought the set of TFS streets that "70429SCJ" had for sale. I'm just waiting for the delivery.
