I have such a large investment in Gen1 small block Chevys. Lots of shit actually. Waaaayyyy too much to just dump for nothing on ebay or whatever.Soooo I've really hesitated to make a change from the Brodix heads that have given me such grief. Anyway,I've been mulling over my options. I think I have the solution. I have one fresh pair of the brodix heads,and another set that will be fresh after repairs. Both sets are worth at least $5K per pair with rockers setups and pushrods.Sell them both,keep the high $$$$ rotating assemblies and change to the Chevy SB2.2 upper end platform that will allow me to continue running my bullet proof assemblies and bolt on the SB2.2 stuff. All I will have to rework will be headers and a few coolant lines. SWEET!!!! BTW,the SB2.2 stuff is what nascar ran for a long time in a 360 max CID. I will be running my 427 rotating assemblies. Won't be dougy power but 800+ should be sweet enough and won't cost hardly anything(relatively speaking) to make the conversion to reliability.
DS,all good thoughts but you know me,I like to travel a different path .
I am a boost junkie but love the instant gratification off idle from a high compression NA mill, so understand both perspectives. But can somebody please school a guy that would have planted a 427sbf in it by now lol? What is the differences between sbc and the sb2.2 stuff? Just intake and head design??
