the dodgy thread helicoiled is it a big job how much would it cost for a machinist to do?Darkspeed wrote:There are some Buick 300 heads for sale as well - more local to you
Look a reasonable price for the specification - factor in getting the dodgy thread helicoiled.
Someone on here may have experience of the V8 tuner heads and have more to add - may also be worth a search.

i can get these heads for £250

dont no alot at all about the buick 300 heads how can they benefit a blown engine? or are the stage 2 heads a better choice?minter wrote:the dodgy thread helicoiled is it a big job how much would it cost for a machinist to do?Darkspeed wrote:There are some Buick 300 heads for sale as well - more local to you

If you can get those heads for £250 I'd snap them up.
Presumably they are 14 bolt heads with 36cc chambers, you can use composite gaskets to get the compression down to about 8.8/1 assuming your engine is high compression 9.35/1
If you intend running fairly mild boost that will be ok, but for anything heavier you may need to consider a piston change or some additional machining to the combustion chambers.
