New Heads for Mopar SB in SS

Jeff Teuton · 11-25-2007, 09:12 PM

Just in case no one noticed, the SB Mopar can use the Magnum R/T heads in SS. I have a couple sets with matching manifold from T/STK before we got Aluminum heads. If you want info on this set up, let me know. I might save you some time and money. jefft@southlanddodge.com

Is this the head thats listed in the engine guide under P5007140.Are they worth the 5 extra HP and are they as good as the 308 head.

Yes

Jeff, I don't see these listed in the NHRA engine specs - what year 340's are they legal for?

Update: Thanks to all the guys who expressed an interest. From the information I got from NHRA, let me explain what I think I will do. The Magnum R/T head must match the LA head for whatever combo a racer claims. The heads I have are 2.02 1.60 with 180 runners and 8mm valve stem size. I have two sets; one ported by Ray Barton and one by McDowell and both have ported Mopar M1 manifold. We only ran the Barton heads which went 9.80 in Top Stock @ 2980 lbs. Duster body, 9 in tires, good driveline pieces, .525 cam with modified factory roller tappets, Comp Cam rockers, single 750. To qualify for SS, I will have to bring the valves to 3/8 stem, 1.88 if I claim 360 etc, and 2.02 as a 340 and get the runners to 163 and 72. The R/T heads also oil through the pushrods, but no problem. We got good ones with a little smaller hole and no problem. I will probably take the Duster and fix the heads and run as a 340 in SS, or a 360 in GT. Maybe I can save someone some trouble and time before I sell anything to make sure they are as good as I think they are. According to NHRA, the 396 Edlebrock/GM head and the Ford 428/Shelby/Edlebrock and any other allowed replacement head were required to do the same thing. The 360 motor with these heads made 560 hp. We found more later, but by that time we had Edlebrock heads, learned more in intakes, valve train etc. Call me or email me for more info.
