Thread: big block heads

Tweet

with my current rising family ordeal disscussed a while back. i am , with my wifes blessing. borrowing from my 401k to try and finish my project. i am looking at cylinder heads and they are for a 427 tall deck. all that are listed for a 454, brodix and edelbrock, will they work for my application, as long as i get the proper push rods?

Basic configuration of the heads will be the same. The block heigth was the difference. What is the last three numbers of the casting number?

i dont have the numbers on me, its mounted in the car. it is 100% possitive a tall deck, i checked the casting numbers a few years back. its the heads, i just want to make sure it uses a standard big block head before i throw a couple grand at them.

Asking about the numbers because on those tall decks were very good and other were very sub par for performance use. Personal preference if you want to stay oval port would be 052 or 359. Oval port by design, a tad better on flow and intake volume compared to a plain jane oval port. (Now let the fire storm begin....lol).
