    stud/pedestal

    word. they are pedestal mount. if you WANT studs (i.e. your gonna run a big cam) you can have yours converted........but it gets expensive. especially for a more budget minded head.

    trickflow kit or build my own setup

    I would disagree again. the tfs kit is crap. sorry to those who have it, and i LIKE tfs products. i do not think it's the great deal everyone claims. so, it can give you 300/310 at the wheels...........bfd! gt40's, a cobra intake, the right cam, and some long tubes can do the same...

    A good way to see if your engine is strong enough to handle mods

    i just tore down a 87k 87 complete engine. verified milage even from original owner, they wrecked the front. had good maintenance records, blah, blah, blah......... anyway...... the crank needs to be turned 30/30, and even then, all the scores may not come out. compression on that motor was...

    MagnaFlows with H?

    magnaflow behind an o/r h pipe sounds like the worst kinda ass! horrible. so much so, i took mine off (the magnaflow mufflers only) and replaced em with dynomax race magnums. sounded like an old granada with a plugged up cat.........

    How much power with c-heads

    when it is all said and done, a set of afr or twisted wedge heads would be cheaper (even if the clevland heads were free!) and will make more torque, and hp. it's an older trick, aftermarket windsor heads did not exist way back when, and the stock crap was, well........crap. 2v clevland heads...

    nos fuel pump?

    run a HP 255 in the tank, about 120-130 shipped, and forget the airtech NOS pump. they are only 160lph, and funny enough, do not flow well at all in high psi situations. I have melted alot of plugs running that pump and going lean, using anywhere from a 150-175 shot (dry).

    thinking of buying 150psi air comp. Good for painting?

    look at a used compressor dood........ you need a 800-1200 compressor if you wanna do it alot, it will work the hell out of a 6hp compressor.........some could paint with a 2 gallong, 2hp compressor if you give em chance. i have an 8 gallon, 4hp, and it will NOT keep up with a die grinder...

    Edelbrock vs Trickflow

    LOL i started typing " both are too small for a 408" then noticed above. go with a tfs r, or vic jr at the smallest. this is not a 302! it's 35% larger, and the stroke is an inch longer! you need more head. figger 35% larger on the cyl head, so that 170cc ebrock head is more like...

    GT40 iron head swap

    I would go stage 3 on that port, or they are about the same as an e7 with a stage 1.5 port job, throw in a 3/4 race cam, and booya! your a redneck! and as fer your pushrod question, nobody here can answer that. you need to set it all up, and see. it is LIKELY that they will, if they have...

    Can stock valvetrain handle a spring seat pressure of 160lbs?

    no idea........ i do know there have been some class racers using springs a little more aggressive than this, and spin em real high....... what cam could you be running in a stock head that required such seat pressure? what springs did you find with those specs, that fit a stock head?
