? about using GT40 bolt down rocker heads on an early smallblock?
Looking for some thoughts here:
I was going to use my Ported '65 C5AE 289 heads with 1.94/1.60 valves and 54.5cc chambers with my '68 302 shortblock. I am now trying to decide whether to go with a 347 stroker kit, but I calculate that it will be around 11:1 CR if I use the 54.5 cc chamber heads and flat top pistons. Plus I know I would be somewhat limited with airflow and these ported heads. Guess I could sell them.
I have some used Aluminum GT40 (non-x) heads that I was going to use on my '94 Cobra with 64cc chambers. They are setup for bolt down rockers and would need to be converted to screw in studs/guideplates. Shop said it would be about $150 to convert the heads to screw in studs with guideplates. I have some used crane gold 1.6 roller rockers. Or would it be possible to use bolt down rockers with the setup? I have hardend 6.875" length pushrods. I'm assuming I would also need different pushrods since the lengths would be different?
Thanks,
Jon
