    What Do You Guys Think Of Aluminum Heads. My Projects Not Even On The Road Yet And I Decided To Take The Top End Of The Motor Apart And Ordered Aluminum Heads For My 350sb On Saturday. Ive Never Used Aluminum Heads Before. Whats Your Guys Thoughts On Them.

    I have an all aluminum motor... best thing in the world.

    As for the heads, you'll notice a big diff. as soon as you hit the road and open it up for the 1st time. MAke sure you use really good head gaskets and go all out and do the roller motor. Only about another $500. Also spend the 200 extra on the heads and get the ported and polished. Another 15-30 hp right there.

    Sounds Like It Will Be Worth It Then, I Am Going To Use The Roller Rockers And I Also Ordered The Edelbrock Gaskets That Were Designed For These Heads. Ill Do My Own Porting And Polishing, Ive Done Several Of Those Before. Thanks For The Reply, Im Really Looking Forward To Straping These Heads On.
