I'd seriously consider these instead of the Vortech heads at this point. Thanks.

I already have the heads,they were just freshened up,and I got them for 200.00 with 50.00 shipping,I could not beat it.I am not a chevy guy so I ask alot before I buy,I was told by alot of people that 400 ish horse is easy and managable with these heads and the RIGHT cam,I know with my Fords the cam choice meant the world,proper parts work great together.

Re: More SBC Upgrades

The ZZ4 has angle plug heads, if the heads you are using are angle, you should bolt on the manifolds to make sure you have clearance to the plug boot. If the plugs are straight or you are using headers.... please disregard this reply
