Re: Camshaft

thanks Hybrid and every one else. It looks to me like a set of edelbrok heads might be the go. seeing as I was quoted 600 bucks per head for machining etc. That now poses another question, a good match of camshaft for the afore mentioned heads

Re: Camshaft

Ok let just say I look at entry level Alloy heads as Trav has suggested will the nice stainless steel tri Y's that I have already bought, fit on them? Because if that was possible I would go down the path of buying Alloy heads.
