I backed out of the deal. I think I have really high compression as it is. I
have to use premium to keep it from pinging now. So I may have flat top
pistons. We will soon see. If I go from 70 something cc heads to 50
something, I will have to run race gas. Not gonna happen.
Thanks for the suggestion on the Machine shop heads. Although that's what I
did the last time, and the chambers were bigger.
I looked up the castings on the Monte and it looks like they are 1.94/1.50
size with a 70 something chamber. Who knows if someone put 2.02 valves in
them, but I don't think it will make much difference on the street. I am not
running high rpms with it.
For $50, I was gonna go for it. If I can find a set for $200-250, or even
less, I'll get them if they are rebuilt. I can't afford new heads. I would
rather get exhaust on the El Camino and an overdrive trans, and wheels, and
big breaks, and tubular rear trailing arms ...... (but wait, there's more!)
