Thanks he said @ 60 it’s 3k rpm, so good.

Hi I have a buddy wanting to take his truck on long highway run. Engine has been well maintained but never rebuilt. Oil pressure 30 or more. What’s thoughts running 3k RPM for couple hours?

I agree with post 3 & 4 for a pic. I have a friend who has this:

Hi Gents If you seen this before ignore. If not, I enjoyed hope you do to https://youtu.be/sUvM5te8ZoY

Love the story and the car. Wishing you all the best and you (in MHO) made the right decision.

Your life, passengers or your car worth less than $500-$600 bucks? Run them.

The good old days:)

All Thank you, I really learned a lot. I never thought switching heads was so involved. I canceled my order and will look for another, more simplistic, project.

Ordered Edelbrock heads. What plugs?

Outstanding advise! My hat is off for you. TYVM

Thanks Jerry, that I can handle.

Ok thanks. Knowledge is power, I agree. Unfortunately, it’s all way over my head. As previously mentioned, I’m 86, I like turning a wrench and was looking for a somewhat easy winter project to keep me moving and off the couch. I do like the look of aluminum with dual carbs and thought I could...

I’m 86, I’ll report back. Have a question. If gaskets are installed properly why would aluminum be tough to get off?

Thanks all. The car currently has bolts (think it’s a later 239) and would like again to use bolts.

Hi Gents I hope this doesn’t start a long thread about positive/ negative on aluminum vs stock heads. But here goes. I’m looking for a project to keep me off the couch. I’m thinking about switching my stock 39 heads with aluminum. Here’s my questions: 1- Can the heads be installed (without...

All stock. Today when leaving the house (after 5 min idle warm up) it felt like the emergency brake was on. I pushed clutch in and checked and the brake was off. I then left for store. All good except....when pulling into parking spot in first gear, a huge rapid bang bang bang and stumbling...

Thank you all. My main concern is will the headers connect up to existing pipes? Or will I need to fab new ones.

Hi Gents My 39 has a later 239 and dual exhaust. I’m thinking about buying reds headers. I have couple questions. First I should say I have a friend with a lift, so car will be up. How tough a job is it to replace the manifolds with headers? Will I require additional piping? Or will it...
