wow i don't know about most of it, but i have read that the 94/95 e7s are better heads, and if you have them, you might think about trying to use them. they have heat risers in them and they also have the ports in the backs (both are used for emissions), which might be a consideration if you live in a state where they have strict emissions rules.

also, for what it's worth, i have a 1971 351 based engine going into mine, and my understanding was that my accessories would bolt on. but i decided to go with march brackets, so i will never know if that is true or not.

good luck with your build.

I thought e7's sucked, I tossed mine

compared to aftermarket heads today, yeah, they suck. but compared to the stock heads in 1971, they are (supposedly) better.

well we will probally use the 94 heads since it will need to be inspected but i have no idea what pa has for emmission laws is anyone familiar with them
