Cylinder Head Deal

Fostang · 05-15-2001, 09:54 PM

I have the chance to pick up the holley systemax aluminum heads for an 86-83 5.0 for a mere $500 bucks brand new in the box. It wasn't what I originally wanted but how good are these heads? will they work well with a different cam than the one they recomend? I consider .512 too much lift for a street car. Also how well do they match up to a tfs intake or edelbrock intake? Will they bolt on to an older block or will I need different push rods? Please help I don't want to pass up this opportunity if they will work.

I would jump all over that deal even If they dont work for your motor you can always sell them and make an easy $300-400 dollars those heads are $1000 everywhere.

I called up summit and asked them how much they had them for they said $1248 plus shipping. Needless to say I'm going to pick them up today. Anyone want a nitrous oxide cheater system??? Brand new 400 bucks!
