YEP!!
Gonna call em today. This is getting REAL expensive...just in
parts alone!
Luckily my friend is helping with the machine work
labor.Just heard
back from Randy Guynn. I knew the heads were
thicker....400 thousandths or
so. The thickness is at the head gasket
area..so they ARE taller.The INDY
intake has more material at the end
seal area to fill the gap!! BUT...when
you look up the SR head kit in
the INDY catalog...it states.."will accept
any STOCK or aftermarket
intake manifold"!!SO..being un
educated on INDY heads quirks...(read
that dumbass).....i "ASSUMED" that
my BRAND NEW Edelbrock airgap
would bolt right up and work!
Wouldn't you ASSUME that one would
bolt up and work, after the way the
catalog stated it???? I've been
collecting pieces to do my 401 for about
two years..wish i had known
more about the INDY heads!!!! Live and
learn..but it gets expensive.
Joe i can relate as going with a 4 speed has cost me much more than when i
had a 727 and the reason why is i wanted to row the gears old school and i was
not wanting to shell out almost a grand for the convertor i wanted..Ah the joys
of an AMC.Hell,we could go out like Rod Hemmie Gremmie tho and spend $13.46
cents for his chivvy set up and be done with it LOL
