Re: afr head selection help!!

1034 is straight plug

1040 is angle plug

1041 is angle plug with 87 and up intake mounting angle.

1034 will work with a pre 87 intake
so will 1040 but you might have header clearnce issues with the angle plugs

1041 will need a 87 up intake and again might have header issue

If your intake has the pre 87 bolt angle then yes.

Re: afr head selection help!!

If you are ordering from AFR, get the heads milled to bring your compression up and it is worth upgrading to 7/16" studs now. Then, a real cam and you are ready to go!

Re: afr head selection help!!

Mine had the stud upgrade and better springs (all installed by them) and 60cc combustion chambers. Tell them you want the 60cc chambers and they will figure how much to mill off. I think the cost for that was around $100.
