sorry for glogging up the board guys, i just need an over all plan of what im doing before i buy stuff im not gonna use. i was going to go with the world products torquer heads, then thought about the vette heads.....which is better ? also...should i just bow down and swap to carb ?? or work with the tbi <millions of you will say tpi but blah, too much calling junkyards> anyways, ...everyone put there 2 cents in here, this way i can get a good idea of wtf im doing in the long run. help! lol

 

Aluminum L98 heads, although they have 58cc chambers, will represent a loss of compression on a 305. That's due to the higher heat loss through the aluminum, which not only allows but requires a higher static compression to make up for that heat loss and maintain power output. So, if used on a 305, they should be shaved down to 52-54cc, which will probably require shaving the intake manifold as well.

The World S/R Torquer 305 will flow pretty much the same as unported L98 heads. They'll flow even better if treated to a pocket porting job prior to installation.

Either way, the TBI can be made to run. For more info on that, talk to the guys on that forum.
