I would like to put a new set of heads on my BBC..can anyone help me out with a good set to run...i dont want to over do the compression but i want to get some more power. can someone inform me on BB heads..valve size, chamber size. etc.

Do you need some stock replacement heads or do you want to get some big port heads? (rectangle) I have a line on some stockers in very good shape. fresh valve job and new springs and they are on a Gen IV block

what is the compression of your motor?what size cam are you running?headers or logs?what intake?depending on the size of your cam and comp. ratio you should be able to pick a head? do you want more top end or out of the hole?

right now the comp...is about 9-1 ..the intake is a torker II and i have headers..not sure the specs of the cam ..its a mild one though.
