Replacement Alum Mopar Heads

GTX JOHN · 12-06-2012, 05:32 PM

I am thinking of updating the Fleet.
Anyone have any feedback or success
with the New Stuff and how much work
did it take....particularly in Stock stuff?
Thanks!

Has Edelbrock corrected the valve sizing, valve stem diameter and runner volumes on the 60767 head?

GTX JOHN · 12-16-2012, 03:57 AM

I do not think either valve or guide size is correct ....unfortunately.

I have no clue on runner cc's being correct.

Since both you guy's are here, What intake should I be looking for to go on the 1980 wagon? I haven't decided on a 318 or 360 yet. Most likely 318 though so I wont have to put a roll bar in it.

I'm going with a 318/155hp. Trying to find 79 to 83 360 manifold with correct casting #. Was hopping to use aluminum heads. Don't want to spend a lot of time or money on old worn out cast heads.

I think you will have to correct the valves size & stem. I don't know about the rest. There is a note at the end of head volumes about these heads. Same cc everywhere and correct valves. I don't think Edlebrock is doing any of that.

The biggest issue facing users of the Edelbrock head is the intake valve seat....Edelbrock heads are set up for a 2.02 intake valve only, so if your combo requires a 1.88 intake valve you will find that the seats should be replaced with smaller diameter seats in order to get enough material for a decent competition valve job....since the guides are smaller than the stock stem diameter 11/32 compared to 3/8, the guides can be reworked to the correct size......what this would do to the port volume and what you could do to maintain it I can't address....doing a set of these heads for an early 340 wouldn't be too tough, but for anything else with the smaller intake valves is another matter......

I do not believe that they are legal in stock with any of the 2-02 valve
340 Engines with high compression. These are a positive deck engine
and I do not think the combustion chambers on the legal Edelbrock are
compatable unfortunately.

Phllip: I like 340# intake on 1980 engine
