i need help building a good 350 my friend says vortec heads are the best way to go, and cheap. Help out with like: gears, what size rods, heads, cam,..ect. id like to make it a mid 13's car too and still street driven.

 

Vortec heads are a good way to go....check my sig.....

 

i have a 1987 Trans Am TH-700 with a 305 in it now

 

I really like the Dart Iron Eagles. My buddy has them on his 327 and hes pushing 450+ at the wheels.

 

Yeah, for the price I'd say Vortecs are the best.

 

nah cuz whenever you get vortecs..... you have to buy the right intake with the vortec pattern so that is always added into the cost..... for the money... Iron Eagles are Deffinitely the best bang for your buck.

 

I'm gonna have to agree. Vortecs aren't always the best choice unless you can get a good deal on them. Once bought you'll need to have them machined for screw-in studs and probably bigger valve springs. After the cost of the heads, the machine work, and the intake you'll have saved up nearly enough money to buy a good set of aftermarket heads such as the Dart Iron Eagles.

 

I dont see anyone mentioning AFR heads...

Is it because they cost too much to be relative to this topic? I was under the impression that these are some of the best heads you can buy, although expensive but im just curious as to which ones are the best NOT concidering price...

 

i agree, AFR seems to be up at the top.

 

Yeah, if not a budget oriented build up I would definately go AFR, but you can get some decent heads for a lot cheaper if you are on a tighter budget.

Well yeah LOL, if cost is not the focus go with AFR's.
