Right here is the latest I picked up my #11 heads last week as I met my mate at a drag strip meet at Santa Pod. He also brought the Pontiac N cam which was wrap in cloth and taped up. Anyway when I unwrapped it had a badly worn lobe and is scrap. My buddy apologised as he didn't unwrap it as he wasn't going to use and gave me some money off the deal to make up for it.

So I set to work on decoking the heads and all the guides are fine except one which has loads of wear and needs a new valve guide pressing in so I got a quote and I may have this done or not because brilliant guy as my mate is he gives me another set of #62 heads aswell. These have bigger valves 2.11 and 1.77

One slight problem is he needed the screw in rocker studs to go on his 6X4 heads he is putting on his 469 motor.
I looked at the #11 heads and they don't appear to have screw in rocker arm studs unless are they under the push rod guide plates? Because I haven't removed those yet!

Anyway I must decide which heads to use or I could try one set and later try the others.

The 350 short motor I got is from a 1970 Firebird and has the block casting number 9799916. I was told is was a manual transmission car so does this mean it would have had a better cam than the auto?

I have to decide what cam to put in there as I don't want to go too wild. I am going to run this motor as it is because the bores look good my mate wasn't having any problem with the motor and it has a healthy oil pressure. All I need to do is the front and rear main seals.

I also have a good timing chain to put in there as my mate says there is a bit of slack in the 350's timing chain and he has 5 timing chains sitting on his self.

He doesn't just give me a stock one he gives me a hi performance timing chain which I have forgotten the name of already! What a fantastic guy!

He was running the 62 heads on the 350 69 Firebird with a TH350 and a Saturday night TC and a posi but he's not sure what rear ends gears he has. He was running low 15 1/4 miles not sure what speed.

So I have to decide which heads to use #11 or #62 and I am thinking the #62 heads and then what cam to go for. I would like to use the stock springs on the 62 heads as they look pretty new! I will be driving the car to the track and only drag racing 3 or 4 times a year at for fun and I only did 400 mile last year so it's not a daily driver. I have a 2000 stall B&M holeshot TC to go in and I will have to do something about my open 2.56 geared diff.
