Hi Guys,
I thought I saw a sticky for this somewhere, a search didn't turn up anything, so if there is a post can someone point me in the right direction.
I am not happy with the performance of my 360 LA engine, it goes ok! But it should go better! I suffer from all the same problems, low comp, open chamber heads, poor flow. I have been exploring all kinds of options (5.7 hemi, 408 crate engine, alloy heads) but I think what I want to do is put magnum heads onto my LA block.
So I am going to need
Heads - What are good bang for buck magnum heads? (I see recondition ones on ebay for the $200 mark) does anyone have any good heads? Can anyone recommend any that might be a bit better than stock?
Push rods - What length can anyone recommend some? (I need some with holes up the middle)
Rockers, where do I get all the rocker gear I need?
Valve covers, should be able to find them on ebay, need low profile ones to clear my brake booster.
And I will need an intake, but thats not to bad to sort, edelbrock will have that covered.
Thanks
Bruce
