Hey Guys,

I will be puting on a set of ported out iron heads with bigger valves, along with the stock ported and port matched intake. Is there anything special I need to do this. Like different roller rockers, or pushrods?? I already have the headgaskets to use for these heads. Do I just bolt em off and then on?? Should I go with a cam too, or can I run ok with a stock cam. I want low 11's possibly high 10's. Any help for this newbie would be awesome!! Thanx

what kind of heads ?
stock rockers should work the springs need to be 100 psi as far as the cam it might be a good idea
 
I think their those T/A heads, cuz I was told they were made by Duttweiler?? They are ported and port matched to the intake, with 2.02 valves. Fully assembled, Thanx

What???????????
:confused: :confused: :confused:

Duttweiler never made any heads, and TA has not made any iron heads. No one has made stock type iron heads for Buick but the factory.

An iron head cannot accomodate a 2.02" valve and neither can a 3.8 bore.
 
Hmm.. Thats odd. I guess I will measure them then. That was just what I was told. Thanx guys

Just rough estimated the valves with a ruler. their like 1.5's and 1.7's sound about right?? Sorry for being a newbie :)

To specfically answer your question, no there are no special parts that you need...just the usual chemicals and a torque wrench. If you are reusing the TTY head bolts, be good and sure this is the only time they have been re-used.

You'll be better off with a new set of ARP head bolts as they are re-useable over and over.

If your ports are opened beyond the limits of the openings of the stock intake gasket, you can switch to the Fel Pro 1200s.

Just be sure to check your pushrod preload (see the gnttype tech archives for details). Good Luck!
 
Duttweiler sends his heads out to a race shop in California. Very nice work. I have a pair.

I mean he sends Iron heads produced by Buick to the race shop for engines he prepares. I just wanted to be clear.
