Thread: Camel Back Head rebuild

Tweet

I recently changed motors in my 83 Grand Prix. I switched from a 3.8 to a Chevy 305. I have a set of Camelback Heads to put on it, but they need rebuilt. I'm not familiar with how exactly to do it because I've never rebuilt heads before. Anyone have any advice?

Thanks

Rebuilding the old heads can get a bit spendy. Might want to price out the work Denny suggested, then match it to the price of a new pair of heads, especially if you end up having to buy new valve springs and a bunch of valves. Lot of places selling chebbie heads cheap, I'm sure the chebbie guys will be around with some recomendations.

I sure do like the modern aluminum heads. I would compare prices to a ready to bolt on set of these.

I have a set of double hump fuelie heads and before I'd rebuild I think I would replace. New heads (and new technology) would probably better serve me. Cost would not be that much different, not even for the vortec heads.

Thanks for the advice guys. I decided not to go with the camel backs. a lot of people said they would lower my compression, and thats not exactly the effect I'm going for ya know?
