i just picked them up last night. they are so awsome. i got the 195cc head with 74cc combustion chamber and l98 plug angle. these heads rule.








i can't wait to install these bad boys. i should have the car running by the end of the month

 

Why such a big chamber? Gonna blow it?

 

because the heads i had were 76cc and i had just under 10:1 combression. i didn't want to change the cmopression that much i went with the 74cc.

 

Looks good! I ordered the same heads with 68cc chambers at the end of January. Hopefully they are in in the next week or so.

 

Hope you like them as much as I do mine

 

if everything goes well i should have it running this weekend. i'll have to keep my fingers crossed

 

Wow cartman is that ur car.... it sounds mean. thats crazy it sounds like a dragster

 

Make sure you clean them out good, just because they look clean, and they tell you that they cleaned them, you will still find stuff stuck to your magnet.

My $.02.

Get a magnetic drain plug if you don't have one.

If you have trouble with the valve covers sealing, then cut some length off the bolts, and use rtv around the valve cover rails.

Don't overtighten the intake bolts or exhaust bolts, the helicoils don't last forever.

 

Where did you guys order them from? I want to get some in April, but I keep hearing they are back ordered for months.

 

i got everything together and i should be starting it up tommorrow or sunday.

westman i got mine directly from AFR. you are going to have to wait a long time. i had to wait almost 4 months for mine.

 

I ordered mine through an AFR distributor (who ordered from AFR) at the end of January and they came in last week.

 

Ordered mine Jan 5th and they were just shipped out today

 

I got the 74cc chamber as well, only b/c I had to. The distributor I ordered mine from only had those available. Got them in 3 weeks. I had them milled to a 64cc chamber though. I'll be running about 10.25:1 with those chambers. Compression....mmmmm. And yes, these heads rule.

 

Almost how my baby idles, except a tad bit lumpier.

HeavyChevy, those heads ARE awesome man!:hail:
How much did they run you?

Good luck w/ the installation process.DUECE

 

man, you guys got yours so fast. i had to wait forever. my heads cost about $1500. i already have them installed and i got it running last weekend. all i have to do is time it and break the new cam in. it sounds awsome.

 

You've got a pretty terrifying combo there man.. That thing must be a torque MONSTER with the 408 and that cam

 

did you get the competition package ??

 

i bought the AFR's too, but i didn't have such a good time with them. Make sure you fit up your intake before torqueing the heads on, put the rockers on and check the alignment with the valves. make sure you can center the rockers over BOTH valve tips. lastly throw away the rocker studs and replace them with ARP's for 50 bucks. i can eleborate if you would like, but its going to be a long post!
