Heads for 350 SBC in '65 El Camino. Will these work?
I have a gen 1 with this cam:
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/tfs-31401001
Says minimum 9.5:1 compression ratio.
I'd love it if the $350 Vortec heads below would be decent, but...Not sure my exhaust and intake will bolt up. It had the 624 stock heads before.
I have the shortblock and this is really a quick fix to get the car back on the road, so I'm looking for the best power/ cost value here, not necessarily max power. Fit to cam matters.
Will any of these heads work?
