Thread: chevy heads

Tweet

I have a set of 896's and 416's and the casting is 261 how do i get the most horse power and performance out of the engine.
What's the most I can get out of the engine with these heads?

I do want to use the 896 but I'd rather not pay for the machine work to be done.Does anyone have any Ideas on this? I was told that it would need new valve seats and valve guides to burn unleaded gas.
