Edelbrock heads?

Coupe Devil · 07-16-2001, 12:45 PM

I would like o get a set of Edelbock aluminum heads for when I put the 306 in the Ranger. I was looking at a "Kit" that comes with the heads, intake, cam, lifters, and carb. I really dont know the specifics on the cam or heads but is it a good idea to buy this all together or piece together from different companies? How much are a set of Tws heads? Can I a good Holley or Edelbrock intake and carb. with those heads? I am not against using a complete system from Holley but cant find one that I really like.

I use the edelbrock heads and really like them but as for the carb I think the holley is way better. I think the cam that comes with the edelbrock kit is also flat tappet insted of roller.

If you are wanting performance or cost friendly, the TFS Street Heat Intake, Stage 1 cam and TW heads are no comparison to the Edelbrock kit.

The heads are $1000
Intakes are $400
and the cam is about $150

300 rwhp for $1550 ain't bad....especially when the next cheapest kit, the SystemMax is $2000, and the only good thing about that kit is the intake IMO. Although Rick91GT's new heads seemed to get his car into the low low low 12's.

Saleengts: is that kit for a carb. I dont want to run EFI. I want a clean looking engine bay that I can work on. I can't work on an EFI system. I already have a e-303 cam but can get a new if it will be better for that combo.

Which intake would you use. I plan on at least a 750 cfm carb. I also want roller rockers. Should I use 1.6, 1.7 or what. I don't have the cam in my possesion but can get it cheap and also a set of 1.6 rollers. A good way to go?

I found this on the internet It state:

A 89 Ford Ranger with a 302, Edelbrock heads and intake, Trickflow cam, five speed, 8.8 rearend with 3.73 gears, 26X10 mt slicks, 3540 pounds with driver ran an
12.856 @104.56 in the quarter. It said the truck had clutch problems (engagement).

Since I don't know if I will still get a Ranger or Mustang (read I'm pissed in the Blue oval) Which would run faster the Ranger or Mustang setup exactly the same?

Definately the stang.....lighter, more aerodynamic, and better weight transfer...If that exact motor was in a Stang, you'd prolly see 12.50's @ 107-108.
