i saw go with the headswap, and i'll second those afr 185's If not those, then maybe the holley systemax 2's
.....that was the Mrs. that owns and drivers the "dodge". I merely make the payments (wait a minute, that doesn't sound right, doooooh). Anyways, you went off the topic!!! What do you think: to swap or not to swap...that is the question....bully!
500 is nice george, but why not 600?
Randy I vote for some heads as well. I would stay away from any heads with 202 int. valves as the stock pistons won't clear the valves very well. It would be a gamble. Heas with 194 int. valves will work great, ask me why I know! lol....
As for the NOS, if you put that on your convertible Lisa would shoot you dead!
Yes I still am running the stock bottom end with stock block, no girdle either. Mines a time bomb I know.
I'm still running the HD World Class T-5 that Saleen installed for the SSC. 441rwhp-414rwtq and no noises yet, Thankfully. Centerforce II Clutch. No problems in that department either. I am aware that the tranny can't hold up to all this forever, so if it breaks I'll replace it.
We've decided on Brodix 5.0R heads. Jeff has a good matching cam in mind for my combo, but I can't remember which one. We've talked about so many. I'm trusting in his recomendations and expertise because he has built so many of these cars.

If it goes, I hope it just splits, and doesn't toss anything and ruin your heads.
