Cheap SBC aluminum heads..

[pdq67]

I had my Son order these for me.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-CHEVY-SMAL ... Swb2JbovTf

Total: $321.80

So I guess I will see how good they actually are.

Cheap enough because I can 't melt beer cans this cheap to pour a pair..

Let me know what you think of them and how they look, I may be interested in getting a set too to see what I can do with them.

I just got them!!

They seem to look fine, no-name or P/N aluminum heads..

Like I said, for the CHEAP price, I can use them for, "door-stops"!!

Guys,

I have a stock pair of 2.02/1.60 -461 heads as well as maybe some -291's or whatever they are in my head stack. I figure my -461 big valve heads are real fuelies???

Also a pair of really old, '56 or so trough sparkplug 265 heads , I think 306's?? Just to have... And should still have a pair of '55 heads with the round or square water hole in them?? I forget which..

As well as my '67,(really 66), 350SS's heads.. One was cracked...

You're an Analog man in Digital world.

Don't worry, this whole pictures-on-the-internets thing is just a momentary fad, it'll never last.

F-BIRD'88,

"You're an Analog man in a Digital world".

You are absolutely right.

Back in ME school at UMC here in town years ago I figured out that there were three ways to solve a problem.

1. Use math.

2. Draw it out on a drafting board. And

3. Test...

Good to know. I have a line on some "cheap" AFR heads complete. Will know Fri. if I get them or order these.

I'd like to see pictures, of the actual items, taken by an actual flesh and blood human, because the ebay ads all have either stock photos recycled over and over from other China-based drop shippers, or else they're something like Solidworks renderings and not even real photos of a real physical object. None of those ebay sellers ever lay eyes on the things they are reselling and don't know the first thing about them.

[pdq67]

They are boxed up in my bedroom next to me and as far as I can tell are fine.

I have all the cheap Summit house parts stuff to put them together.

I was going to use all that stuff for my iron EQ 49/50cc heads, but what ever...

Oh, how much can these be cut to get them down to 49/50 cc's?? They may be 68 or 64 cc's now??

Or can they be cut that much??

[F-BIRD'88]

You don't need to cut them near that much to get to 10:1

You don't need to cut them at all if you use a correct appropriate small dome piston.

50cc heads will create a excessive cr on that motor.

Good Lord

[pdq67]

Slightly stepped ICON, DITH flat top pistons here.

325" engine...

That's why the 49/50 cc heads.. And shim head gaskets.

Please give description, I/we don't need a pic, and especially a Youtube, if the observer has some ounces of experience, 20/30 or so with enhancement vision, can wiggle a stem in the guide & marker on a seat, observe the stem, keeper, retainer & spring fit and take a guess if they've used intakes for exhausts. Pedestal, head,intake & exhaust surface too low or high or cockeyed, and material quality won't show in many if any pics. There's hardly anything that doesn't need to be deburred.
Thanks.
Good luck.

there is a 4.155" bore Icon piston with a .163". 6.3cc dome
1.56" cH.. Just get the right rod length and deck the block right.. 10.4:1 with 68cc head and .040" 400 HG
No need to cut the head.
That dome is small.
9.00" block height. Custom 5.94" rod
"0 deck height". .040" quench KB760 piston
