454/330 to 496 stroker
 
Would these heads work ok? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...obalID=EBAY-US
If not does anybody have any other good suggestions around the same price? Also which cam would you recommend? I will be using performance manifolds or wet headers. I tried searching but couldn't find my exact setup and wasn't sure what would change. Motor will be all forged scat crank, pro comp rods and probe Pistons. Thank you in advance for any help.

well since your going chinese,,might as well finish off the poopoo plater w/ those heads.but on a side note,those heads have springs for flat tappet cam.

When you put that combo together, don't waste valuable boating time running around breaking it in, just push the sticks to the dash right away. It's going to last 3-5 hours either way.

Would it not be a better use of letters upon a screen to offer this guy some cost effective suggestions to achieve his goals rather than whipping him with a limp pushrod??

Buy a good set of name brand heads bare and have them built.... with good castings and good parts, proper springs for the application and INCONEL is a MUST....

I will never again buy ANY head assembled and bolt it on my boat engine, cars not a big deal so much but a boat is different story....

Cool, thanks for the help guys. Guess Google will be my friend here.

Sell me your 454/330 and buy a complete 496, that's what I would do :)

Carb to pan would be preferred!!!

BBCLiberator, are you selling your boat or just putting aside another bullet for the chamber just in case? ;)

I'm actually always looking for a spare 454/330 if I can find a decent runner for a good price, I actually had one but sold it to a friend who disintegrated one, but it didn't have all the accessories with it. I can swap that with my engine and sell it stock. As you know, it's worth about the same amount either way. I'm always on the lookout for a newer hull to drop this motor in. The boat is still ~ a 55mph boat with the original prop and a 330hp.
