The Aussie heads are here!!!!

I just got back from lunch to have the receptionist griping about heavy boxes that just got delivered.

The look great, no visible cracks, but i'll go through them tonight when i can spend more time. The guy even threw in a gasket set.

Where are the problem areas to look on these monsters for cracks, and when they are there, are they visible with the eye?

I'm going to get them magnafluxed, hardened seats put in and assembled by a local guy who did the heads i have on it right now.


So I'm going from a 400 with 8:1 compression to 10:1 compression, and from the edelbrock 204/214 cam to a crane 220/220 unit. It's right at 300HP right now, what should i expect from the new setup, Shazam?

I know you'll have the answers to all of these questions.

Those heads make me salivate but I've got too much money in the one I have now. I would pocket port and gasket match those puppys

As for where do they crack it's usaully in the valve seat area on the exhuast side.I've seen them with just my own eyes and during Magnafluxing.
