Tell me about cylinder heads #38417369
Good or bad? Is this a good budget street head? Intended goal is no more than 300hp N/A, with maybe 150hp shot of nitrous.
Overall, is it a decent cylinder head?
Thanks!

Car: yep
Engine: uhuh
Transmission: sure does
I'm going to assume the number is 33417369 since the other didn't come up on any ID chart.
This is from www.mortec.com
33417369...90-up...350..........Gen.I Goodwrench crate motor,"Hecho en Mexico", 76cc
Sound like basic SBC heads. Just as basic as basic gets.
I would look for a better starting piont, especially if you will be modding at a later date.

I have these same heads on my car right now. I run low 14's with 9.7:1 compression, Comp High Energy 268h cam, heddman full length headers, Performer RPM intake, and a 600 cfm Edelbrock carb. I also have a 700r4 with a stock converter and 3.73,s. I just got a set of vortecs but haven't put them on yet. Hopefully I'll get 13,s.
I think these heads can easily get you 300 hp.

I'd like to know the cfm rating on these heads too, I've been told 180cfm and I've been told 240cfm. If they are the larger CFM, they can take a motor making over 300hp, because they can be ported alot bigger. Any body know the answer to this one?

supposedly there was an "emissions" version that had the real low cfm, and then there are the regular ones which are opened up a bit more. Just looking for some insight as to what my potential is with these, comparing them to a pair of say, 462624 L98's, since they are also 76cc. I'm trying to keep this as cheap as possible. How do these compare to the 376450 castings, 60cc found on late 70's 305's?

Re: Tell me about cylinder heads #38417369
None sre hi perf heads. All will struggle to make 300 hp.. Yes they all do get better if fully agressivily ported.
305 heads 185 cfm.. 76 cc heads 190+/- cfm
462624 are not L98 heads. One of the worst 76cc heads.
L98 heads are either 083 or 217 or 113 aluminum.
All high perf heads are 64cc
Get a set of vortecs 062-906
