Head Swap Parts List
I'm in the final stages of buying parts to swap in a set of ported heads
and intake in my 97 TA. This is the list of parts so far and I'm going with the Crane pacalloy dual valve springs instead of keeping the beehives that are installed on the stock heads. Head Bolts (ARP-134-3601) >> or should I get the 12-point bolts? Rocker Studs (ARP-135-7101) Pushrods - Comp Chromoly 5/16" Pushrods (length TBD) Valve Springs - Crane 96872 Locators - Comp 4771 Retainers - Comp 730 Locks - Comp 613 Shims as needed to attain 1.83" installed height Lifters - GM (kit) 12371042 Head Gaskets - GM Impala 12553160 Intake Gaskets - GM 12524653 Guide Plates - GM 14011051 TB Gasket - GM 10105379 EGR Gasket - GM Air Bleed Tube Gaskets and Bolts - GM I'll also be installing a set of SLP shortys and have all the parts for this swap which include the Percy's gaskets, Breslin bolts, GM flange gaskets, etc. The heads will come unassembled. I'll assemble the heads with the above hardware and will buy an adjustable length pushrod to determine the proper length to buy. I also have the valve stem seals. I've spent a lot of time deciding on the valve springs so I don't really want to have a beehive vs. dual spring discussion. In theory, the surfacing done on the heads and intake combined with the longer valves should be about a push. Let me know if I'm missing anything. |
Everything looks good to me. The only thing I would do different is get the trickflow pushrods instead of the comps, they are the same exact pushrod just with trickflow's name on it and they are about 1/2 the price. What heads are you going with? And are you keeping the 227 cam?

Get the fel pro head set, it comes with everything you need.
You will need valve cover gaskets as well. It also has other misc. seals and gaskets you'll want. Valve seals as well. |
