What is your concern with the heads? That the car will make too much power?

 

No, its not the power. My concern is that it won't have mind enough manners to be streetable

 

I say go for it If you want. Either the car works or it doesn't. If he been driving for a while and it's not putting out crazy power id say its good to go. It sounds like it was built right

Those heads are pretty big but a blower will help out a lot. What's the concern?

 

What issues does everyone think big heads cause other then awesome power?

 

Same thing I was thinking. I hope we don't have one of those volumetric efficiency debates like we used to years ago in this forum lol

Lulz... agree. Bigger is better. Yes you might need to put it in the power band, but it doesn't mean the car shuts off and stills under it.

 

I don't know what your blazer looks like, but it can't be that great? Trade him, before he changes his mind...

 

Lack of low end doesn't mean bucking or stalling, just means for most cars.... lets say below 3500, it just doesn't accelerate very fast. Get it up to 4k and it ill scream.

 

And we all know we don't shift at 3500rpm when we race lol. Those heads are not too big

Yes again haha.

 

Honestly why don't you just test drive it and decide for yourself?

I plan on doing just that. I'm just trying to find out from you guys whether its gonna be street able as a driver or not

Especially not knowing what cam and pistons are in the thing. Comp ratio etc......

 

I'm going to look at this notch this afternoon. Wish me luck I sure hope its a solid car I miss my old notch. Anything you guys can think of specific to look for?

 

Condition of the torque boxes. I didn't check those well enough when I bought mine, and now I'm paying for it

 

I've heard of them tearing up but I've never seen a bad one so I'm not sure if I'd know what I was looking at

 

An 82 blazer for a 92 supercharged, afr headed notch? If you don't trade, I want a shot at this guy. sheesh, that's like looking a gift horse in the mouth. And you can see what heads they are by getting the part number right off the front of the head and calling AFR or going on their website to see what they are.

 

I agree on checking the torque boxes. I didn't check mine and I'm now rebuilding the one on the passenger drivers side.

I picked up the notch last night and its a nice car. Its straight but needs paint.

One thing that did piss me off was I took my neighbor for a ride in it. Got pulled over by the damn cops and when i tried to start it back up it wouldn't fire for nothing. It just turned over. Finally after about 30 minutes it fired right up and drove it home. Not sure what the deal was with that.
