Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Digest Number 769 INDY versus Edelbrock,versus stock?/

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

 For the cost of a set of 291c heads ported and new guides, new seats, new valves, springs, retainers, keepers, rocker studs. you could get a set of the edelbrocks ready to go. I have heard good things about the new heads. You have to disassemble the Indy heads to make sure all the aluminum shavings are out and the head is clean. It really is up to what your future plans are with your engine combination. The indys flow great out of the box, better then stock amc and better then edelbrocks. Also they have much more potential if you decide you may go that route someday. But they are lots more then the edelbrocks which are a great aluminum head for out of the box street performance. It really all boils down to what you want and need for YOUR build.

I've "HEARD" that the Edelbrock heads are not made
that good?(quality issues)?? Supposedly alot of
casting flash..etc? ANY ONE tried these? I had
"thought" of the INDY SR401 street heads kit. I have
a set of 219C heads(bare) also a set of 2993's(bare
also.). More suggestions...WHO is good/reliable with
modifying AMC heads?? I'll send them to a reliable
source! Thanks again,Joe
