I appreciate all the suggestions on new heads. I?ve contacted SAS and a couple of others. All good options, albeit expensive ones. Because I have some time right now, I?ve been trying to find a used one. I found a used Stromberg head with a Weber conversion. Anyone have any experience with that route? What might be the performance expectations?
The new heads with big valves and hot street cams can easily produce 150bhp+. But $850 for a head (no cams) from a reputable source does have a certain appeal, and I?d be remiss if I didn?t at least explore. Any thoughts?
