NHRA allows Alum heads in stock/ss

[Aubrey N Bruneau]

At an average of $2500.00 for a pair of old core 690/583 large port 409 heads, which are almost impossible to find within 500 miles... Edelbrocks would be welcome in my world.
Unfortunately, however....in un-molested condition... the Edelbrock heads will not make the power of the old GM castings.
Perhaps this is an exception... but this is the fact.

Aubrey, about how much could one expect to pay for a good block, heads, intake, and crank, to build a 409/425?

Generally, starts at about $3500. Depending how complete... can be as much as $6000.
Personlly, I won't sell one. Just WAY WAY too difficult to find around here ( not that I have an extra )

Tech-Man... I hear ya' about the IHRA / NHRA hypocracy !
