Looking to do heads and cam this upcoming spring. Went to a shop yesterday and got some info....Eldebrock heads were $560 a piece fully ported and polished(Performer). Intake was around $300. Are these good heads? I will also get cam package to go with it. I am trying to keep this project around $2.000. The work will be done by myself and a buddy so the parts are all I need.

 

For that price you can get stock LT4's,which will flow better out of the box.And have a lot more potential.Its your cash and car tho.

 

If I went with the GM heads, the stock heads are not ported. If I get the ported ones, Wont they cost a ****load of $$$$$?

 

Lt4's flow like 242 cfm stock.Edelbrock are right around there from what I have read.So for around the same price I would raher have the LT4.Sodiom filled exhaust valves also.Just my view.

 

why dont you have your lt1 heads ported there is company called cnc heads that will cnc port and polish your haeds i had a set and they out flow a set of afr 195 lt4 heads think i paid around 1300.00 nice heads

 

I thought about getting my heads done, but everyone tells me for the price, get new heads.....I know the LT1 heads are good for around 500hp......If I can get them done for 1,200....that is definately an option. Where is this cnc company located.....do they have a website?

 

Send your stock heads to Lloyd Elliot, for around $1000 you can have 280cfm flow, which blows the LT4 and Edelbrock out of the water.

his e-mail is nighttrain66@msn.com

Just do a search for Lloyd Elliot and read up on his work, you can't go wrong with him.

 

Fully ported for that price? Are you sure? Jegs lists them at $519 each.

 

Yeah, I am sure, thats what I got quoted....1150.00 for a set of Eldebrock heads...they come fully ported and polished...

 

I agree with Chris. Lloyd is by far the best bang for the buck and does great work. Do a search and see for yourself. Ported stock castings are a good choice, I spent alot of time looking at other choices before I went to Lloyd.

lloyd is a very nice guy , instead of selling me something that wouldnt benefit me very much he told me the truth . He told me porting lt4 heads would only give me 4 or 5 tenths with my mods , which is good for the price but to me not worth all the work of taking them out when there are other things that could be done first , lloyd gets a thumbs up from me

 

i went with lloyd elliot, flow numbers were 274/191 at 0.6"
i paid less than $1300 for new valves/double springs/fully assembled/ported/polished/flow graphs of before and after/next day shipping....... great customer service......

i trapped 115.4mph with his heads and XE224/230.

for the performance you wont beat the price.
