Just picked up a set from my local junkyard for 100 bucks for the set! What should i have done to them before i install?

Iwannagofast · June 2nd, 2009, 10:16 PM

At minimum they will need to be resurfaced, new valve seals, new valve springs and a valve job.

and to be honest i did actually copy and paste that from one of darrells posts.....i mean 1slo5.0

i hope so! i'm so close to 12's its irritating the hell out of me, so i figured a deal like that for the heads wasn't bad at all. Hoping to be around 12.50's

your not going to gain half a sec bro

well i actually plan on launching it. my 13.13 run was coming off the line at an idle, so next time i plan on taking it to about 3k. I'm running on a 4cylinder tranny so breaking it on the line is my fear.

88_FiveOh · June 2nd, 2009, 11:15 PM

White Thunder · June 2nd, 2009, 11:30 PM

No. If you are going to pay for porting on top of all of the other stuff these heads will need, you might as well buy some good aluminum heads.

Gasket match the ports yourself and get the Trickflow spring kit and you'll be good.....

88_FiveOh · June 3rd, 2009, 11:18 PM

so you guys just suggest having them resurfaced, new valve seals, new valve springs and a valve job.

At minimum. I'd probably toss in some new retainers and valve locks right away.
