Thread: another head question

Tweet

hello eveyone im new to the fourm this is my first post so dont be to hard on me please. but im build a chevy motor for a dirt track super stock and im going to use stock heads this year and im trying to find the best head to use here are my rules

G.M. may use any production head with a maximum intake valve diameter of 1.94;
maximum exhaust valve diameter will be 1.60. No angle-plug heads allowed on Chevrolet.
No "bowtie" or Vortex heads allowed. Vortex cast no. 10239906. Other
casting numbers not allowed are 14011083 and 14096217, 10239906, 1012532,
10208890 and 12554290

The 3782461”Camel Humps” were probably the best OEM production cast-iron head made by GM from 1961-70. They’re 57.5cc chambers so you’d be looking at 10:1 or better compression ratio (unless you go to a dished piston). Intake runner volume is 170-180cc. Used on 302/327/350 engines and most have 1.94/1.50 valves. They’re fifty years old so you’d want to buy from a reputable source and definitely not “sight-unseen” from a private party. A lot of them on e-bay. – here’s a rebuilt set from a machine shop with hardened seats and Z-28 springs for $800 plus 100 bucks to ship.

Those rules sound like Wissota Super Stock rules??? We ran that class a couple years, found it easier to use this approved head rather then try to find decent used (old) heads around; Dart Wissota Approved Small Block Chevy Super Stock Head, Bare - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop If you're running IMCA, I heard they had a similar head available to be class legal????

thanks glennsexton but do they have holes for a power steering pump?? and dave you are correct im doing a wissota super and i would like to do them heads but kind of on a tight budget this year as its my first year

Unfortunately not - you would have to fab a bracket. If you need holes, the heads Dave directed you to are a good bet.
