Well a friend of mine is pulling his gt40 cast iron heads off of his 347 in the next couple of weeks and says he will sell them to me for $250 with the cobra 1.7rr.
I'm really considering picking them up from him and having them cleaned up and getting some new springs and some hardened push rods.
1.So does this sound like a pretty good deal?
2.How can i make for sure i'm getting gt40 heads not some e7's or gt40(p) heads? Will they be stamped somewhere?
3.With a stock short block and the mods in my sig should i go ahead and have the heads ported and polished a 3 angle valve job and maybe shaved or just leave them alone minus a clean up and .
4.What springs should i get for the gt40 heads to accomadate the E-cam that i have? I'm always worried about valve float and related problems with my stock heads and what appear to be stock valvetrain with the E-cam.
5.Should i try and save for some new lifters as well? If so what kind?
Thanks ahead of time for all the help! I'm sure i'll have more questions to come so please bare with me.
