Wes,
that's a nice idea, .. but then we would have a sticky that nobody
bothered to read either. Ok , I'm joking, .. I'll stop now.
Just to be clear, .. yes I'm serious that it's getting old talking about
these junk heads, .. but my last posts where very tongue in cheek, ..
I was trying to be a little funny, .. find some humor in the situation.
I offer my experience and advice based on close to 30 years of building
heads, engineering degrees and racing experience, .. and if it helps some
person that's great. Cause all I really want to do is help.
If they don't want to use my advice, that's OK too, .. there's more
then one way to skin a cat, .. I'm not always the one with the proper knife.
A list like you talk about would be miles long, .. cause every combination has
it's best cylinder head, .. simple fact is outside of Dart, Brodix, Trick Flow,
Edelbrock ( for some things ) All Pro and AFR, .. . there's not many others I use.
Not counting the factory stuff like SB2.2, DRCE, Yates etc of course.
But the truth is, .. you use what it takes to properly do the job.
I just can't see risking $1,000's worth of engine, pistons, cam etc
by putting a crappy head on an engine just to save a little money.
That's really poor economics, .. to put cheap heads on an engine and
risk the costs of all the other parts to save a few bucks.
spend the money up front and buy the right parts that will give good
service for years, .. it's long term economics, .. it will save money in
the long run. Cheap parts cost more money in the long run because
of a shortened service life, .. and if they break, .
