Chime in on head selection dupe please delete
OK Team here we go, Got some loot from the bonus going into the vette fund.
trying to decide which supplier to deal with
I am running a stock 68 327 small block, and looking to upgrade the top end.
trying to decide between the world, Edlebrock and GM performer heads
looking specifically at the 2.02/1.6 straight plug heads. not looking to race or anything, but good street performance my existing heads are just tired I'm gonna shelf them for later rebiuld.
I am running the stock cam, but will do a cam swap later thinking of the 70 Z28 cam 224/224 w/ .477 .447 & 112 LSA and 1.6 rockers but open to other options
could go either way but leaning toward aluminum.
the car is a daily driver except winter, and see plenty of highway miles (i.e. cruises)
so what are you guys running and price across all three is acceptable, no not interested in the cheapest, but more interested in quality
Thanks team

aluminum Brodix IK180 ... about $1K/pr assembled ... they have straight plugs ... and NO exhaust xover.
Many GMPP heads are made by Zeus ... Zeus recently bought out by Caparo ... Z/C is UK-based. Zeus heads' quality good ... dunno yet about Caparo. Z/C is Tier 1 suppliers only ... Z/C heads not sold elsewhere. Z/C also T1 supplier to Mopar Performance.

EB Al 170........$1014/pr
for $26 more you get Brodix Al 180 & a more correct (smaller) spring for your cam
BRO-1021005 ......$1040/pr
for $56 more you get Brodix Al 180 & a larger spring that you don't need (like the RPM has)
BRO-1021004 .......$1070/pr

I like this plan if you are willing to pay for aluminum
