Youngster looking for some cylinder head advice

[benw88]

Hi All,

Thank you for always responding and sharing your opinions, there are only so many people I can call up and bug in my phone.

I have a 68 C10 with a sbc350, muncie 4-speed, pontiac posi rear end.

I really want to upgrade my heads, only because I need to change my valve springs to accommodate the comp cam thats in it.

I was thinking about the vortex head swap but my engine builder said that since i have flat top pistons that the compression ratio would be to high for pump gas, also I am on a college budget and getting another intake and what not would be a little to pricey.

The motor currently has a comp cam xe274, edelbrock electric choke carb, performer rpm intake, MSD HEI dizzy, headers, comp cam 1.5 ratio roller rockers.

I have 882 heads which i have read are not very good and thats why i want to change them, keeping in mind my budget, what would be some good heads to look for, even something that is just slightly better than the heads i have now so i won't have to worry about them cracking. Does anyone in so cal have anything sitting around ?
