big chief street engine
#2
Just curious, why do you want to run Big Chief heads on the street? Thats a lot of money in heads and valvetrain parts. Not to mention the maintainence. But it's your money and I'm sure it could be done.

I was thinking of doing just that, after seeing a buddys stuff, but its good for a full race application, now that I`ve looked into it, if you want the full effect of the power you can build, and its way too much for the street, unless you need big power, ,in say a 5000# truck. lol. easy to build the compression , dished pistons, for one thing........for a good burn..
