up Home Autos 1982 Caprice 350 Rebuild Cylinder Heads
From http://craig.backfire.ca/pages/autos/boxchevy/350/cylinder-heads

As was mentioned on the goals page, I want to make as much power as possible without resorting to big porting jobs, lumpy cams, and so forth. The only real way to pull this off is to use forced induction, or shell out the money for modern cylinder heads.

For this build, I went straight to the top of the list and got a set of AFR Eliminator 180cc heads with 75cc chambers, part number 0911. The casting quality is very impressive, and the intake ports and combustion chambers are CNCed. The heads come fully assembled, and are ready to bolt on (for the most part).

Below are some pictures of what is the most expensive part of the entire car project so far.
