i found a set of big block chrysler heads, casting number: 2406516. the guy is asking $150 for a complete pair. are they worth it?


thanks, stan

150 is fair for them , I actually like the 516 heads , they have the desirable closed chamber & you can easily install larger valves , I generally use 1.81 exhaust & 2.08 intakes , most people Hate them but it got my duster into the mid 11s easily

ok thanx

516's have the 1.60" exhaust valves. You'll have to open the bowls up when you put in the larger valves (1.74" or 1.81")

thanks for the avatar help, im kinda technology retarded. so would it be worth buyng the 516s for $150 or should i just get 452s whenever i run into a set?

hint, the engine is a street 383 with hydrollic roller cam, stock crank, rods and hypernautic pistons.

as I said I actually prefer the 516 heads for the closed chamber design & increased compression with flat top pistons so yes I would get them , if you do not want them maybe I will buy them
