RE: heads
well the 383 will be going in my camaro now in place of the 350. But will them not being new hurt performance? I wonder about the break in.. I guess i should just put the new heads on the 383 and break them in on that motor huh?

RE: heads
right, ive looked at rotateing assembly's and matched a set of heads to make an 11.3:1 compression. Thats with a 58cc head though. And they are darn pricey. Probably end up with something more like 10:1. Which is fine, that could probably run on mid grade (89) fine.

RE: heads
i havent decided that one yet. i would like it, but i know they are prone to cracking A LOT easier than cast.. plus they are more expensive and the only benifit ( that i can think of ) is that they are lighter.. are there other benifits to aluminum heads?

you can do it just fined a set that will flow enough four the 383. my buddy did this and didn't plan on a different motor and now is mad for not buy a better set. beware of afr head's they have problems.
