hi all,my wife has got herself a vette 79, 350. she is after my z bits.
whats heads in let do you think for best bang per bucks??
want to keep it stock looking so needs to fit under standard hood.

Keeping the heads under the stock hood isn't a problem, what kind of budget and goals are you working with?

If you want to keep it as stock looking as possible, I'd look at some Dart Iron Eagles, either 180 or 200 cc runners. They can be had for a decent price and with a little bowl cleanup, they'll be strong runners. You can paint 'em the same color as the block and your existing intake will work fine. I assume the ones on the 'vette now are 72 or 76cc chambers, you might look at going to 64 for a compression bump to 9.5:1 or so. A cam really helps wake those engines up as well. I have an '81 that was factory rated at 190hp with 280tq, 8.2:1 compression, what a candyass engine for a Corvette, huh? I'm pulling and saving the original numbers matching engine and tranny in favor of a 3.75 stroke, 4.600 bore 499 CI solid roller tire shredder.

allowing hr 2k. just need to get it breathing properly.
want about 400 horses max,alot of smog gear is off, but still on cast manifolds
and heads

i recieved the clips ok,not the ones i needed, but no worries.
pretty sure i only sent one cheque to you.

looking at dart heads.what manifold will work with them ,keeping it low of course?
