Im trying to see if its possible to run a brand new #823 casting that i have and a milled .006 #5364 head.

 

Why couldn't you?

 

do you mean the new head on one side and milled head on the other?

 

No. Id get the new head milled as well. And possibly port the exh side of the #5364 since they dont breathe out as well as the other casting

 

Seems like more trouble that its worth. IMO. why not get a matching set?

 

Im lookin @ it in a budget type of way. With a baby on the way soon. Im just trying to round up a few of the main parts fairly cheap while there out there. I can seem to find a #823 casting in my range @ the moment. So i was gonna make do with whats available now.

I dont see it as 2 much trouble to get one head milled down to match the other sorta

 

I get it but heads for these motors are cheap. At least in my area. The cheap set of springs i plan on buying cost more than the heads they are going on.

 

In my area they are few and far between shoot my a pm so i can go to your area craigslist n see if i can find someone to ship one

 

Didnt realize you were running rectangle port heads til I did some research. And you are right I cant find rectangle port heads around me. Cathedral port heads are cheap here and everywhere. I did find some right ups about guys running different castings without any problems.

 

When I was looking for them (used)...Then added machine shop time and parts up to make them ready to bolt-on...It was cheaper (just barely) to buy new and I got a warranty (piece of mind).

Look around

 

I took your advice very stubbornly and let the #5364 head get away for $160 on eBay. . But less than 24hrs after that someone on yellowbullet pm'd me and I'm glad to say I have a matching 823 now for $150. .

=)

Now onto the cam decision. .
I got specd by Texas Speed to try the 235/239 cam .639/.623. . But I'm gonna keep searching to find other proven came.

Thanks for you all's replies. =)
