G'day team Torana,
I need some of your expert advice around choosing heads for my 383 small block.
The very short story is... I have a 383 small block. It was built around 2008 and has about maybe 250k's on it. It was in storage for a few years.
Anyway, I live in the he states now and have my Torana here with me. I had the engine dynoed back in Jan and about 3 months ago, after registration and title issues just started driving it. I took it for a 150 mile run and when I got home she was blowing white smoke..... well coolant to be exact. It wasn't too bad and then boom, snapped a rocker stud, here is that story http://www.gmh-toran...ressed-in-type/
So after LS1 Hatch and I fixed that, things just got worse. Now it looks like a bloody mosquito fogger driving down the road. It's blowing white smoke every where. I haven't pulled the heads yet but i'm thinking cracked head or blown gasket.
Either way, and you will see in the other thread, the heads are crap. So i figured I would attach my engine spec sheet (which hopefully gives you some info) and you can make some suggestions on what heads I should get to replace the cast fuelies.
Also, I'm running a 750 vac secondary holley (elec choke) with edelbrock performer intake manifold. Keep that in mind if you want to make suggestions about changing either to suit head set up.
Alloy or iron, doesn't bother me so any and all suggestions would be great. And ask any questions you need :-) I'm currently looking at a set of Patriot Alloy heads 210cc intake runners, 2.02 valves and 64cc chamber. But i'm not an engine guru so let me know.
Cheers,
