    289 Head question

    the intake will work with your heads but just remember some of the people giving you advice have NOT actually done the EXACT swap you mentioned some of the intake advice given, imo, is junk but if you want very good hp gains - a manifold/carb swap by itself is not going to be worthwhile...
