496 what size of heads?
We are buiding a 496. I've been told that you can put to big of heads on it. Right now I do have a set of 781's that we can clean up and smooth out but I do not want to put them on and then wish I would have gone with a better head for better performance. Bottom line is this. This engine will go on a dragster. I have very good components in the engine so it can handle some HP. What would I see in performance and HP gains with the stock heads and some aftermarket heads? With basic work on the stock heads can a person get 700HP? What kind of HP could I get with the bigger heads and how big would I want to go? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Of course it is easy to say to buy some wxpensive Rrodies but keep in mind a blue collar budget...thx M
