Thread: Heads?

Go with Vortec heads.

Scoggin-Dickey part number SD8060RA2 is a Vortec that has been modified for extra valve lift and has heavy duty springs to handle big roller cams with lift up to 0.600” (which you may need to reach your target horsepower). List is $399.95 each, but they’ll likely discount a set.

These are some real good folks and they love to race the daylights out of anything with wheels.

Good Luck,

AFR 180 Eliminators. I know they're right at the max end of your budget, but I also know you will be thrilled with them.
I have a set of their old 195's and they are awesome, but those 180's will kick their butt.

Those AFR heads are something sweet that's for sure! But they are a lot more expensive and you can buy all of other stuff (cam/carb/manifold) for the difference.

Great article on comparison between the Vortec and AFR180 on a 400 SBC.

One outstanding quote is,

"The added cost of the project is the price difference between the complete Vortec heads ($640) and the AFR 180 heads ($1,924)."

Have Fun,
Glenn

The AFR's distroyed those Vortec heads according to that test.
I didn't know the Eliminators were that much money now. I thought they were running $1,500.00 a set.
