which heads ???
 
Im building a warmed over Gen 5, 454 mag, 10:1, fully balanced rotating assembly, scat crank and rods, JE pistons, HP500 cam, roller everything, EMI thunder. Stock rev limit is 5150, but thinking 5200-5500 might be possible.

Im down to needing heads. I have a line on a set of 088 take offs with 26 hours, but not sure if thats the best that I should have.

What is everyones thoughts ?

if it is in the budget i think some afr 290 oval port aluminum heads would work good for that application,call bob madera and see what he suggests.

I never get fast answers here. Post it in general boating discussion - more people seem to read that!

Gen V's are different then the Mark IV's especially when it comes to heads.

I got brand new gm 188 for my new motor bc one thing goes wrong you will destroy motor.. Did that once, I can only get 5150 Rpms out of the motor, but no porting done.. I hear the power is in the heads... So if you have the money the afr prob will make u happy
