DART HEADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DART HEADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF ANYONE IS CONSIDERING PUTTING THESE HEADS ON THEIR CARS...CONSULT ME FIRST...I HAD SOME REAL PROBLEMS. CONCERNING MATING OF THE INTAKE AND GASKETS. I HAVEN'T FIRED UP THE MOTOR YET BUT I'M HOPING IT WAS WORTH THE HASSLE.

There are 2 types of small block heads. 18 and 23 degree. If you tryed to mate an 18 degree intake on 23 degree heads then yes, the bolts won't line up properly.

No stephen i got the 23 degree heads. the main problem was i was getting a gap between the intake and the valley. I had to get the intake welded up and mr.gasket 100 intake gaskets in order for everything to mate up properly. I wish summit would have told me this was not going to work for my application.
