Good information, thanks all. Still my head is spinning on what heads to buy.... Varied opinions.....  I have heard the same thing about all Eddy heads regardless of the engine make. You will need to check everything and likely retouch the seats. etc....

Until you get about 20 posts you can't upload pics directly, have to use a third party site. Not Photobucket unless you have a premium account, which is a bit on the costly side. They found out a lot of people were using the free account for hosting third party pics and stopped that. I have to find another site to put my photos I want to share on. I wouldn't mind paying a modest fee for the little sharing I do, but not the $40 a month they want for a . If the $6 a month option allowed third party hosting, even if they limited the number of photos you could host to 20 or so and/or reduced the storage space (even 10-15 GB would do for a limited amount of photos) I'd give them some money. They throw so many ads at you now on the free account that it's rather annoying... more an effort to get you to pay than help the advertisers IMHO. You can do just about anything from the site except contact to comment -- can only contact support!

See http://theamcforum.com/forum/guide-to-posting-photos_topic220.html for general guidelines and instructions for posting pics.

It's a 426, relatively trick build. Edelbrock heads with about 2.5 sq in min csa (lots of work), Torker enlarged to match, 1000 Pro-systems, 1 3/4 hookers, 10.2 compression, 232 HR with good valvetrain and beehives, and a few tricks in the shortblock. There was some effort to make the HR rpm, and the combo was matched for midrange. At 1.31 ft-lbs/in it was right up there on output, and the HR did hang on to 6500 rpm. It did make more power than I expected. As I said a bit of an experiment in max streetable output. If the Rambler was set up for race (slicks, auto with race converter, open pipes, electric water pump) it would be a low 10 combo, but it's a street car with a stick so the poor launch keeps it to only an 11 flat.

567 h/p . Seems impressive, What engine do you have in your rambler? What else have you done to it.
