Well today, I picked up a 306 for $500 with all of the following:
-Stock E7 (I think)heads, 2 valves replaced, and complete valve job
-Speedpro hypereutectic pistons
-all new bearings
-new rods, lifters, and bolts
-new oil pump and pickup
-new double roller timing chain
-accessory brackets, and an extra alternator
The guy also gave me a Lunati .542 lift racing cam. I think this might be too extreme for me because I want it streetable. I was curious what heads I should go with. I don't want to use the heads that came with it because that was the reason of the re-build. One of the valves broke, and got hammered in there and did a little bit of minor damage. I'd rather just start off with a bad ass engine.
Which heads do you suggest? I was thinking some AFRs, but which kind? Maybe some Edelbrock Victor Jrs? What's the best heads/cam combo if I'm going to be using the Edelbrock 650CFM #1406 Carb, and the Edelbrock Performer 4bbl intake #2121?
Around what kind of #s will I be pulling with the suggested combos? I'll also be putting in a 67 cougar 9 inch rear end with 4.11 posi gears, and longtube headers. Thanks for ANY advice and tips. This is my first project car. I'm 17, and obvioulsy funds are very limited, so I'm trying to find the best deals I can. Thanks!
