FE Technical Forum / Re: BBM head info
« on: August 16, 2021, 11:39:14 PM »I'm really far down the tail of the bell curve of everyone else who posts here, but I'd like to know if a 406, currently with out-of-the-box Edelbrock heads, would benefit from a different set of heads? Especially if the goal was (!!horrors!!) pump gas (87 octane, 15% ethanol), power brakes, hydraulic cam with FPA headers. I know, how did I get in the door!?
Meanwhile, this post got buried...
Any opinions?
Yes, you’ll pick up power if going to a set of say BBMs or TFS. That said, you can get your Edelbrocks ported and a decent valve job and likely pick up as well for less $$. I did pick up 40rwhp switching from pocket ported Edelbrocks to BBMs (swapped small roller at the time but it had the same duration as the flat tappet that was in it). Car picked up 10mph in the 1/4
