iron eagles I have a 355 and was going to get a new set of heads and I am not sure which ones would be best. First off here is what I have. It is a 355 with flat top pistons it has an old comp magnum cam (specs are 244@50 with 501 lift) I have a wiend stealth intake and an edelbrock 750 carb. Exhaust is 1 5/8 longtubes with 2 1/2 exhaust. It is in an S10 pickup. It has a Th400 with 3200 stall and 3.73 gears. There is a guy on ebay selling Iron Eagles bare for 399.00. I can either get the 180cc or 200cc which ones will be a better choice for my setup?

yeah but those old heads that are on it do not have accessory holes. I am having a hard time figuring out how to mount the alternator. I dont want to use the old F bracket that bolts under the header bolts, and there isnt enough room for a low mount. So I thought that was a good excuse for a set of aftermarket heads. lol

I was told that they were 1967 327 heads. Is a new set going to make a huge difference? When I did the heads and cam on my LS1 it was like night and day. I just dont want to be disappointed.lol Maybe someone has a better choice for me.

Well the wife cleared me to get the AFR 180 heads. I think they should give me a pretty good boost. I do have 1 question though. I am going to also switch to a roller cam by comp, with 230/236 @50 with 510 and 520 lift on a 110lsa. Will this give me PTV clearance issues?
Those heads are great, i think i am using too much cam for mine though.
I ran a set of 72/200cc iron eagles on my 357 and they were a great improvement, had dual springs fully assembled with screw in studs and guide plates for cheap. Alan grove has brackets for use with the acc if your using heads without the holes.
You sholdtn have any ptv cleance issues at all. but you can put some clay on the pistion and just put the head on and turn it over by hand a few times. i have ran way bigger than that with afr 220s

DEFINITELY step it up to the AFR 195, if not the 210.

The reason I was wanting the AFR 180's is because the have 2.02 valves and the 195's have 2.08 valves. I am affraid that the valves wont clear the pistons then I open a whole new can of worms.
