Best oval-port head
 

Planning a stroker BBC build that looks like an L35. What's the best OEM oval-port open-chamber head--part number? Thanks in advance!

Buy a set of AFR heads and paint them...

If your looking for a set of 781 heads I have a set with the big valves installed the chamber has been unshrouded around the valves in VGC

No need for AFR heads...the open chamber oval ports will support 600hp.

Agreed. I had a 468 in a 66 Chevelle wagon that ran consistent 10.80 with a pair of 049's and a flat tappet cam.

The 292 open chamber heads are another option to consider.
