Default Will these heads work on an L48

Looking to upgrade and get more horses and found these heads. But I don't know if 305 heads are an upgrade over my smog 350 heads??


305 heads with 2.02 1.60 valves, had the bowles cut. 64cc chambers.

Will these heads give me the upgrade in performance I'm looking for??

Thanks
Jim

No. There is no such thing as a good 305 head. And I doubt that any of the work done on these heads was done professionally or competently since no one would bother to waste their time doing it on such a poor foundation.
