I picked up my Dart Pro 1's 345cfm fully assembled with 1.625 K motion valve springs which will handle a .750 solid roller, with free shipping for $1900. Fantasy Engines and Parts, 1-800-675-3426 ask for Jerrame.

These heads are right in your budget range. the 310cc would be as large as I would put on your 495 given your "low or conservative" rpm redline. the heads are fully CNC ported (intake & exhaust runners as well as the chambers) and include severe duty valves, manley 1.640" diameter nextek springs, and titanium retainers.

I have the 310 cc on a 13.4 to 1 compression normally aspirated 461 ci bbc in a 3450 lb chassis. best so far has been 9.628 @ 138.8 mph, 1.32 60' footbraking off the line. This is also on a 325/50-15 M/T Et Street radial.

These by far are the best conventional head out there for bbc.

Ummm, just to clarify, was that $3k budget for the heads alone, or are you trying to do a whole engine for that same money?

3k is for the heads and intake. i was given a 4.25 scat 9000 cast crank and good 454 block by a local machine shop and the cast crank is the only reason i want to keep the rpms conservitive.

Definately call CFE about the BMF heads then...you won't be sorry.

DOT,
what type of intake do you use with the bmf heads

I'm using an Edelbrock Victor jr with a Holley 1000HP carb by Pro Systems.

If you want to shoot me an e-mail at geislert@qis.net, I can forward some pics of the heads.
