Re: head recomendations

I use the 416 heads

have someone cut the intake seats to 1.94

hog the bowls and smooth them out and you will be happy

and you can say that you have stock 305 heads when you are asking for car lenths

Careful with the "hog" thing. You want to smooth them out, not significantly change the flow path.
