cant decide between 2 heads!
I can't decide between the World Sportsman II's cast 202/160 64cc or Holley aluminum 202/160 63cc. Can anyone help me out. I've got what's in my sig + .040 over and 282* .465" cam. I'm buying them next week and can't decide. I cant either one for the same price.
Thanks guys,
Christopher

Since it looks like both flow very similiar, I would also lean towards the aluminum head. They are lighter, less detonation prone, and easier to repair.

Since you have to put two heads on why not just go with one of each.
On the more serious side youd be better of with hollys for the reasons metioned above.

Hmm that gives me an idea. Since you can only build an engine for one rpm range i wonder what would happen if you built half the engine for high rpm hp and the other half for low rpm torque. That would be one hell of a crazy intake manifold.

I'm running a set of Holley heads, I really like 'em.
As for building half and half motor, sounds like you'd pretty much end up with a 4 cylinder for the whole rpm range.
