Re: Day 2 Vega
Early in this thread I said I was going to use GM production aluminum heads. I didn't want to give any details about what I had until I was sure of what they were and if they could be used.
The heads were done back in the 70's by the cyl. head man himself, Lee Shepherd. A friend of mine had done some trading for them a few years ago and had brought them by the shop for me to look at. I suspected what they might be and made a trade on them. After contacting Reher and Morrison, it was confirmed that Lee had a stamp that he used on the cyl. heads he built and this was indeed a pair of his. Bobby Myers at Performance Automotive rebuilt the heads and gave them a clean bill of health. He said the work on the ports and chambers was cutting edge, pro stock stuff back in the day. I can't wait to get this car done!

Re: Day 2 Vega
I think it's OK as long as you're not reckless. Just build it like an endurance motor, and everything will be fine.

Re: Day 2 Vega
I had a L88 grind done in a hyd. roller. The softer ramps will not shock the rocker arm studs as much as a flat tappet cam.
