Grumpy - aluminum heads again

[jbeech]

Grumpy,

 

I was leaning toward's a set of aluminum Jeg 220 #51433 heads with 1.5 rockers set up for a mechanical roller cam but then I realized they're offered only with angle-plugs. Since my current setup is a straight plug camel hump iron heads with headers, I figure this poses a problem.

 

Any thoughts on a good set of straight plug aluminum heads since the Jegs are out?

 

I just sent off the jets from my Webers 48 IDAs to Inglese. For $65 they'll swap them out for the recommended starting point. Why would I do that? because Jim Inglese had the peculiar habit of grinding off the jet numbers on his systems and I henceforth, I would not have a reference point. Oh well, cheap enough I guess.

 

FWIW, the Webers are equipped weith 37mm chokes which Inglese assures me are in the ball park for 350-383 cube SBC engines. Let me know what you think on the heads pal. I'm waiting on the redcommended cam sheet from my grinder to run past you before placing the order.

it will depend on how you set up the rest of the engine heres some other choices

I mostly use TRICKFLOW,DART,AFR but have used ALL of the others at times over the yearsbtw 383s tend to run better with heads in the 195cc-210cc size flowing at least 245cfm @.500 lift.

ask lots of questions like the intake port gasket size ,if any special rocker arms or push rods are necessary. ETC.
