Best aluminum BBC street head for 496
Finaly got my 496 BBC back from the engine builder (November 19th)
It was supposed to be done sometime in July.
Now I have all winter to replace the current heads,
My long range plans are to sell the car and buy a 32,33 Ford street rod
or maybe a nice early 50s Chevrolet truck.
I am going to turn my car it into a pro-street car (I hope easier to sell)
Also I can't afford to race anymore
Present car info:
*1955 Chevrolet 2 door hard top Be-Air.
*Full tube frame, lexan windows, tubular A arms -2,670 lbs.
*496 cu inch - Eagle competition rotating assy
*2 bolt ARP studded mains
*12.6 compression ratio
*Stock Chevrolet 990 cast iron retangular heads
*MSD crank trigger ignition
*Holley strip dominator intake
*Quick Fuel brand Holley @ 950 cfm
*2 1/8 dia headers
*Comp Cams solid roller @ 244 duration / .631 lift
Now for the question........
Can I run a high velocity Dart or equivalent oval port head
or.....
Something like a Dart, Brodix or Canfield small retangular port.
I don't want some race head that will be a dog on the street.
Any help from you guys will be gratly appreciated.
