Assembled heads have single valve springs (with flat wire inner damper) with a seat pressure of 115 lbs. For use with solid (mechanical) flat tappet or hydraulic flat tappet cams.
Manufacturer's Suggestions:
- 271C57YC spark plugs (14mm thread, 5/8" hex, flat gasket, .750" reach)
- Fel-Pro 1034 or 1010 head gaskets
- Torque head bolts in 3 stages
- Upper bolt torque: 50 lbs, 65 lbs, then 80 lbs.
- Lower bolt torque: 50 lbs, 65 lbs, then 75 lbs.
Our Techs Recommend:
- Rocker Arms: 57533501 or 57523501
- Cam and Lifter Kits: 282122102 or 282122112 (for mild street use and hot rod sound without having to use a higher stall converter for an automatic transmission)
Note: The heads will accept even our most radical street cams such as number 282122144 but other requirements will need to be addressed along with this cam choice.
Note: The FelPro 1205 gasket works best with this head. If using a 1204 you will need to do a little trimming around the ports.
