So I have been building a BBC 396 engine out of a 1969 Chevelle for the last couple years. I keep taking a break from the build but now I want to get back to it. It is .60 over with Speed Pro forged pistons - 2242NF60. These were the only good forged pistons for the 396 I could find during the COVID parts issues a couple years ago. These pistons have a 38.30 dome so I am having a hard time figuring out a good set of cylinder heads. Everything I have read on these pistons say that I need to run closed chamber heads. I am trying to find a set of aluminum heads that flow really good for this engine setup but really having hard time finding any. Since the complete rotating assembly is forge so I might run Nitrous in the future. Is anyone running these pistons? Any recommendations on a set of heads would be great.

Thank you.

 

Has anyone run these pistons? Any ideas on cylinder heads that will fit and run good would be appreciated.
Thank you.
