86 460 top end work
Howdy, tried to search my questions but found so much conflicting advice I was left more confused, so here goes!
Ive had my 86 F250 for a few years now, but the old 460 has been suffering some carb issues lately.. While I have it off the road for awhile to do a few other repairs and mods on the interior, I figured id spoil it with a couple upgrades for the top end of the engine. I don't think there will be any compatibility issues here...
Edelbrock Performer 1411 750cfm carb

Weiand Stealth 8021WND intake manifold
https://www.summitracing.com/int/par...view/year/1986
Summit Racing double roller timing set
https://www.summitracing.com/int/par...view/make/ford
Hooker Competition headers
https://www.summitracing.com/int/par...50?prefilter=1
So two questions...
I feel as though while its this far apart Id might as well bring the stock heads to a machine shop and have some work done on them. Ive never had heads machined... What am I going to want to tell the shop I want done to them?
Second question, Should I leave the stock duraspark ignition/coil/distributor alone, or swap out for an MSD Ready-to-Run unit?
