351W question about H/C/I
 

i run a carbed 351 windsor with a aluminum edelbrock performer intake, what would be the best cam(lift also?) and heads to go with to make way more power. do i need aluminum heads? is there a max amount of lift i can put in, because the rest of the engine is stock. if i use aluminum heads alos will i have to change pistons or gas or anything because dont u loose compression with aluminum heads? (correct me if i am wrong). and basically can i do h/c/i with out needing too many supporting mods. -thanks. smokejump:

well thats a vague question but if i were you and on a tight budget i would hunt for a set of pre 71' 351 heads port them out maybe freshin them up alittle then find a cam thats not overbored for your set up. contact these guys for pushrod motor cams these guys are gospel ive seen the results http://www.schneidercams.com/ rockon:

k, can i just port my 1972 351w heads? would a .500 lift be too much

thumb: hmm not sure about 72 heads but 500 lift doesnt sound unreasonablethumb:

ok cool, and also i dont want to waste alot of money on a good porting job if it doesnt do anything to the old iron heads.................but ya looks like i am saving for a cam after i buy rims, or do i need anything else with a bigger cam?

put the GT 40's on your 351! thumb:

who says porting iron heads isnt worth doing? ive got a set over bored to fit chevy stainless 2.02 and 1.60 valves ported to hell and 3/8 rocker studs full harland sharp roller rockers and plained 100 thou those are a set of 1969 model DOOE heads TRUST me this engine was f#cking insane balanced blue printed

yeah, it was kind of un sure on porting iron heads..because other forums said not too it wont do anything.......but my dad has a mostly stock engine in his 1976 dodge duster and he has his stock 906 iron heads ported like crazy...costed over 1 grand and he runs 11's in the 1/4

just posting to see if my computer still work b/c it messed hard core srry
