Thread: Which heads??

Tweet

I have a 350 bored .030 over. This engine is for street use. I was wondering what heads I should get I was told to get Dart or AFR heads. Which heads do you guys recommend? What others do you think would perform the best??

Airflow Research aluminum heads are the Rolls-Royce of heads in my opinion. I play with my DynoSim quite a lot, putting different combinations together and the AFR's consistently show more torque and horsepower than any other head.

Build it 9.5:1 static compression ratio, 0.035" to 0.045" squish with AFR Street 180 Cylinder Heads, CompCams 270H Magnum cam....
Hyd. 1800 to 5800, Part No. 12-211-2, Grind No. 270H, 270*/270*, 224*/224* @ 0.050" tappet lift, 0.470"/0.470", 110° LSA.
Bolt on 1 3/4" equal length headers and 2 1/4" pipes with mufflers of your choice. Top the motor with an Edelbrock RPM intake and 750 carb. You'll make 430 hp and 470 ft/lbs of torque at the flywheel on pump gas. Will work with stock converter, but a 1800-2000 stall would work a lot better. Makes a great street motor.

Tech is right, AFR makes a great head. What carb and type, brand, intake and type exhaust are you running with your set up?

Edelbrock performer intake and a 600 cfm manual choke performer carb. I have hooker headers to thrush exhaust into cherry bomb glasspacks

What tranny would work best under these conditions if I built the engine to what tech said? What is a good stall converter that isnt too pricey?

Sorry to be kind of running you around tech but what would be the best afr street head for my setup?

I like everything about the AFR heads, except the price! Too rich for my blood.

Yea they can be pricey but I think a good head is the 2nd most important thing in engine building so you need one of the best
