I will be doing a rebuild soon, but thought I would post on here and be sure no one here might have an engine built and now needs to sell. I also need a set of ported heads, anyone have anything for sale? Thanks

robwclark said:OK now I got the no-port heads for F.I. thing, I understand it completely, and will use stock heads. Now you mentioned stock manifolds?????? Dude there is no way headers dont help. These motors as all motors are giant air pumps used to propel mass. Heads used in variable ways F.I. or not, they are on the receiving end and matter. In this case these viper engines want pressure with an excellent flow pattern. On exhaust...............Common, this is the exit side of the airpump, and the less back pressure you can create helps......Period. I know there are testamonials with more back pressure helping on a mostly stock application so I will go with that end of the arguement, but a 700-1000hp engine neads headers IMO.
we have actually three to build now, Eddies is first with oliver rods, wisecos, billet mains, heads redone, custom cam an so forth , built for a paxton, the heads have larger springs, and new valves but no porting.yellowfever#154 said:PM stinker, he'll get a motor built for ya.
FerrariTruck said:Yes I know where you are coming from. 700 hp is about the max on the paxton. Longtube headers or even some shortys are not worth the 10-15hp they have added for the expense(1500-2k$$$) that money is better spent else where like the crappy fuel delivery or intercooler improvements. The stock exhaust manifolds flow pretty well. Dont take my word for it though. Call DC perf and they will tell you themselves.
P..s. the fastest SRT 10 ran 10.7 @129 thru stock exhaust manifolds.
dam thats cheap!!!!!!!!!SrtBrad said:Unless someone else listed their heads for sale before my post I have the following available:
Stock heads from an 06 RC with 30K miles on them. It came off of Flchubs engine that was stock. You can have them for $500 plus shipping. Paypal FerrariTruck the $500 plus shipping and they are yours.
