Hi,
To Shelbydoug may have to look into the edelbrock heads, I know the small block is more sensible.
The car won't be raced may have go down the strip because you have to know, not a trailer queen drive to a show and enjoy it.
To 427heaven yes a big block with dual quads is a sight to behold. I do have a spare set of GT heads, I was unsure what to use because I thought that the GT heads were used with the 14 bolt pattern to get past the shock towers.
Thanks for your input, love reading forums with the knowledgeable sharing their wisdom freely.
The 14 bolt heads are fine but you can use a set of 8 bolt heads and convert them to 16 for the same effect.
I have no dog in this hunt. I have a 67 GT500 with the 2/4 set up, iron heads. A '68 GT350 with the original 302 block hiding a 347, AFR 185 aluminum heads, a 2/4 Holley set up on a C6AA Trans-am intake, and a 73 Pantera with Ford A3 heads, Weber 48ida's and 180 headers.
Over the years I've gone through a lot and have had different combinations. Some were just wild goose chases. Many just disappointing and "not as advertised".
I don't preach. I share what I know from my own experiences. I've hunted for the elusive and sometimes when successful have only discovered that the results were disappointing and often an academic exercise in futility.
I've been burned plenty and have no time left to heal. I have strange and often unique scars.
At this point, after doing this all since 1968 I've probably forgotten a lot but decided that time is short and I cut to the quick as efficiently as I can.
In a CLONE, the Edelbrocks are going to save you a lot of needless agrivation, provide you with wow factor and deliver what you are looking for now and probably for a long time into the future.
