Thread: 305 heads junk?

Tweet

.....probably the MOST important thing in an engine build up is the heads. I once talked to a major engine builder about building a 305 that I had {it was stock except for a 'chip'}. I wanted to put a cam in it. He said that to do a cam without heads was almost a waist of money. So if it's a waist of money to put a cam in a stock 305 without also doing the heads I certainly WOULDN'T use 305 heads on a 350 drag car. just my opinion..... Bill

Ps, Just rethinking on my answer; what does your car weigh? or what kind of car is it? I went to campbellenterprises.com, they have a place where you put in the weight of your car & it tells you what HP you need. Check it out. Mid 14's are probably possible. Exspecially in a light car, or add nitrous.... It's just that the 'weak link' will definately be the heads......
