Best SBC Cylinder Head.

[Cannaert]

OK I got to thinking about this last night when I was doing some reading in few on my SBC Hi-Po books.  I have been told many different things over the past 10 years about what the best Stock head is for us to use but I want to know what some of you guys and gals think is the best OEM SBC cylinder head out there?  

But I went with 882's for my Jeeps motor.

I've used a few differnet sets and never really noticed a difference untill I ran a set for the 80s and they sucked! lol but I cant remember the #s... I also have a buddy running vortecs and says they are the best stock heads he ever ran...

there's a lot of different heads that gm made, and they used the same casting symbols for a lot of different heads, NOT all double hump casting heads are good heads, 882's can be made to perform really good, as can most of the stock heads, but ya really gotta think about weather you wana put money into a 30 or 40 year old pair of heads or in some cases save a lil money and buy new ones....

it depends what you have to spend. [$$$$ ] and what you are looking doing with the motor. when you are talking about sbc why would want to use something that is 30-60 years old. {tech whys}  when after market are  so cheap. when start put the parts and the cost of machining of stock heads.

For OEM heads, Vortec.

Vortec...I miss mine

You need to look at the big picture, cam , rpm desired compression ratio then look at the stall converter or stick shift at that point you pick the heads you want  so many people wonder why there motor runs like crap its because the combination is no good

041 knuckle port are pretty good heads.. They got 2.02 intakes 1.60 exhaust and small chambers and a little trickery to them, came on certain select muscle car motors..
