[DeTomaso] 4V cc iron heads

[bill gaino]

Cory, I run the iron heads. One major advantage of Aluminum is you can run higher compression because they dissapate heat better. Your iron heads need a lot of work already... ditch 'em. I wish I had stepped up to Al myself. AFD has a great reputation.. Bill 1362[ Running 10-1 ]

>I have a set of recently baked and blasted 4V iron quench heads (D1AE-GA casting) with pitted seats.  I was told that they might need new seat inserts so that the valves don't sit too far into the head.  They have bronze guide inserts that hold the valves tight, and the decks appear very clean but who knows if they need resurfacing.  Spring seat areas are grooved.  They need new valves, springs, retainers, etc. but are machined for screw-in studs.

>1.  Ditch both and buy a set of Trick Flow cleveland aluminum 2V heads & matching EFI lower intake.  I have always planned to run EFI and DIS.
>
>2.  Keep the Parker and get a set of AFD 4V 220 cc aluminum heads from Mikes Speed Parts.  The Parker intake has injector bosses cast into it.
