At least once they are here I can get the PVC checked and the correct length pushrods and new lifters. The 185's were nice heads but being 72cc Combustion chambers they were killing the compression and I tossed around for along time of what heads to get and asked on many forums and got to many different opinions so I went back to Ed since he did my cam. He suggested the Highports to curb any PVC issues since that was one of my concerns and he suggested the 240cc heads. When I asked why such a big head since the engine is still only a 351 and not a hoged out 418 or anything like that and he said this "Also, don't think port volume (205, 225, 240 or 250) you have to think cross section. Each cylinder head has a different runner length and as such a 240 volume high port is not going to have the same cross section as a 230 volume twisted wedge. Sam for the 225 AFR heads with their middle length runners. I prefer to get the correct port shape, cross section and bowl volume and whatever the overall ports size it ends up, so be it."so with those heads, the long tubes, the Victor EFI I should be putting out some good numbers once its all tuned again. Im not chasing dyno numbers b/c if I was I would have just repaired the 185's thrown a turbo on it and pumped out 550 and be done w/ it. But being that it is a 351 I feel as though it should put on numbers stating such. This is my last attempt at reaching the 11's NA so I'll either get it w/ this combo or I wont.</blockquote>
