I'm doin the swap in the next 2 weeks and I have a few questions. I got the aluminum pro topline heads-supposivly equivalent to victor Jr's. Anyway I was wondering what is a good Headgasket to you for these, I'm gonna go with the fel-pro upper and lower gasket set again. As for roller rockers, 1.6 and the tfs stage 1 cam, new lifters-pushrods and supporting hardware. I have the stock 19 lbs injectors for now. I'll just bump the FP up a few lbs for the time being because there is an s-trim comin within the next 2 months-42 lbs injectors when that comes. Anything else I should get? Or any good pointers that I may be missing-aside from the question on what headgasket. I'll be doin this over the course of about 2 weeks because of work. I wanna get the most outa my stock shortblock before I drop the 331 in. Thanks guys!!! :SNSign:

hey, not sure exactly what part number it is .. but fel pro makes a head gasket made just for alluminum heads.. it has a copper ring or something instead of metal so it doesn't imprint into the head when you torque it... a guy at a speed shop recommended that particular gasket.

In the 94/95 Tech forum, there is a sticky with good h/c/i tips and do a search for jricker's post and he has some good infor on completing a h/c/i swap.

You will probably need a fuel pump. probably a 255 lph.

If they are equal to a victor jr. then they will have way too big of a intake valve to clear with a stock shortblock. Victor jrs have a 2.05 intake valve and you can't clear over a 1.90 with a stock shortblock. You might wanna wait until you get the 331 installed.
