Say it with me now...... Edelbrockkkkkkkkkk!7upstang said:The cost is not as big a factor as making sure the car does what I want. If the Edelbrocks won't kill my bottom end, I would be a fool to pass them up. BUT, if the GT40Ys are a better velocity head (and I can find them)
I'd be better off to spend a little more and get them
Don't forget scotbrite pads(for cleaning block surface)7upstang said:Edelbrocks it is. I bought them last night, along with Push rods, head bolts, timing chain, Gasket kit, fuel pump,.
Even with cheap heads, it's not a cheap project.
Will the Foird performance Head Gasket fir the Edelbrock heads?
I would think so, but you never know.
QDRHRSE said:The TW's have a slightly larger port and a bigger intake valve. Raw power is not what we are looking for in this situation. The AFR would make more lowend tq with a stock cam. The design of the TW's chamber is a lot more effient and from experience I have found the TW's to work a lot better....just not in this case. I would gladly trade my AFR 185's for an equally prepped set of TW's. I would say that I know quite a bit about the differences in the heads as I have tried most of them. Going back to the original point of the thread- the TW is a bit much and the AFR is borderline but probably not worth it for his application imo. I am not only familiar with the power numbers on paper but I am familiar with the output based on ET's and real life experience. Get off your couch and drop the magazines and get some real experience and #'s. Call Rick Anderson @ Anderson Ford and tell them how much better the AFR heads are and you will likely get the 20 minute lecture that I got. Also, how can you compare the quality of a TFS or AFR head to an Edelbrock or Ford cylinder head? That's crazy talk. Come on man. You're better than that.

BTW Kerpal, I let you know what advantages and disadvantages I find from these heads.
Thanks to everyone for all the help/ suggestions.
