World 305 S/R Heads?

Does anybody know who sells World 305 S/R heads in Canada?

Are they 58cc?

Will they work with the stock cam:
Duration, 207/213
Lift, 415,430
LSA, 117

Is anybody running these heads on 305 tpi?
Are they worth the money

Thanks Guys..

Yes the heads are 58 cc and the valve springs that come on the asssembled heads are good to 0.560" of lift.

I don't know who sells them in Cananda, but you can order them from Summit Racing.

Sorry, but I don't have any personal experience with them.

Hope this helped,

Jason

I've heard they are pretty good flowing heads. But IMHO I would save the $600 something you will spend and get a pair of used vette heads. Not only are they 58cc as well, they are also a hell of a light lighter.

It will work with the stock cam, but work well...I don't know. Id go with a more radical cam. Heads and cam should be swapped together.

Good luck finding a used set of Vette heads that are in good shape for that $600 savings!

You'll probably end up spending $300 for the set, then spending another $400 getting them refurbished!

LOL,

I've heard nothing but good things about them but I don't have any personal experience with them.

As for who sells than, I'm positive PAW sells them.

The aluminum vette heads are lighter but need some pretty extensive porting to match the S/R Torquers, plus they come with Manley Pro Flo valves and pretty decent springs (for street cams) They also feature dual valvecover bolt patterns, so you can perimeter of centerbolt styles. I have heard nothing but praise from the ppl I've seen running them. JMHO
