I've decided to just rebuild my original 350. I thought I would go with a stock rebuild on the short block. It's an L-65 255hp.

I want to go with new alum. heads. I'm looking at the 180cc runner ones. I like what AFR and Dart has to offer. I will being going from a cast iron 76cc head to a 64cc alum. head in order to gain some compression.

I will use an Air-Gap RPM manifold with a 650cfm vac. sec. Holley.

Cam will be in the 270deg. with less than .500 lift

This is just a street cruiser so don't think I would benefit from bigger heads.

Any opinions or suggestions on my ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks;)

AFR's cheaper than Darts Pro-1's and better flow #'s. Now if your looking to make it a sleeper with a set of iron heads then I say Darts "Iron Eagle" heads.

AFR for the money. I just picked up these 195s for my 406 build. They are a quality piece for sure.

For the money it is hard to beat the AFR Eliminator series...

I see AFR heads being sold online but never see "Eliminator" mentioned in the description.

Also not mentioned in Summit or Jeg's catalog.

Something special?

I am on my third set of AFR heads. The best bang for the dollar and they look great in the engine bay.
