Re: what heads for 383?

If money does'nt really matter I would definately go with some AFR's(airflow research).They are the best heads going right now hands down.But out of the 3 sets you posted I would go with the Brodix's.Just keep in mind if you have'nt bought your cam and if you know what compression your your running you need to keep everything in mind when you order whatever heads you buy.Chances are that the 2.02/1.60 will work fine but I have a 383 as well and have considered 2.05 heads.Just some fuel for thought but if I had the money I would definately go with AFR's.

agreed AFRs are that hot thing right now...i believe Dart is making some killer small block heads right now. Like he said it would be best to pick the cam first then the heads.

Re: what heads for 383?

why pick the cam first? every cam company I talk to always asks what heads Im using......

I talked with AFR yesterday and Im going to order the their new 195 eliminator heads....that are suppose to out flow the competion port heads....

told me they flow 286 intake and 215 exhaust

going with 23* heads straight plugs, 64cc and Im going to get the revkit also...

sound good?


anything I need to tell them like holes to be pre drilled on the front of the heads..
I just want to make sure I get the correct heads.
