Re: Chevy's Best Heads For Performance!
I was always told that my heads were excellent heads. (1984 L69 H.O.) These and the Vortec 305 heads. I think those may be found on later model trucks n such.
Re: Chevy's Best Heads For Performance!
From what I have seen, the 305 vortec heads and the 113 aluminum corvette heads. Do a couple of searches and you will find plenty of info on both...and probably some for sale too.

Re: Chevy's Best Heads For Performance!
For a 305, I'd suggest either #601 or the 5.0 Vortec heads (similar chamber to the 601/416, but with the good 5.7 Vortec intake ports).
