Need Help On BBC Alumnium Heads For Street

Post by Harleyboy14 »

Needing to purchase a pair of Oval Port BBC Aluminum heads for a new build. It will be a 427. The pistons I picked are Keith Black KB176 and Howards CL 120245-12 roller cam. The car is a 69 Camaro with 4 speed. Last but not least wanting to run on pump gas. All help will be appreciated.

The AFR heads are much better for just a few more dollars

You're doing this backwards. You don't pick pistons and camshafts before you pick cylinder heads.

AFR or Brodix and you can't go wrong, in fact I think Brodix has a Summer sale going on!

If your Caming for peak power above 5500 I would go for the 290 cc heads if your running 3.90 or better rear gears, if not then the 265 cc head makes far more sence.
AFR has a roller spring set up option, I don't know about Brodix?

If this car has never seen a motor making over 400 HP then plan on up grading the fuel system a bunch before you yank full throttle out of the new motor!!!

The owner wants a pump gas streetable 427 for weekend driving and car shows. The car is a very nice 69 Camaro Yenco tribute with Muncie 4 speed.
