Hey guys....

My dad and I were talkin... We're going to get backt o working on wensday. Its been awhile. But him and I decided that now I have a good job... and paint nad exhaust is a while away... I really want to grab me some aluminum heads. Now that I have an awesome salesman job... I'm in the financial position to do it. One check for me is a set of nice aluminum heads. I really want those.
i really wnat these edlebrock E-Tecs....

I can afford em now. However I am scared to make the full change, b/c My cam is supposedly a Comp Cams 268H or labled as an RV on my build sheet. My rocker arms I don;t want to part with they are Nascar Miller Engineering. THe thread size on em is 7/16-20 most of these heads are 3/8-24. Can I change the stud size (not listed on the E-Tecs) to be the 7/16 - 20? Or perhaps is there anoither model or brand that some one else doens;t mind showing me? I found several different options for myself.... I don't want to spend past $800

Here is what I found:

The RV cam is just slang for a moderate performance cam.  Probably would be nice with our high flow heads.  Have you considered the Vortec heads?

Did you call Summit tech line and talk to them?  You may also want to talk to Jegs, and see what they have to say.  Keep in mind they want to sell you high price stuff, with max performance, when it may not fit your build up.

Louis,

   You realize that all of the prices on the heads you've linked from Summit are per head? Unless your budget is per head, you're out of range. I have a great set of edelbrock performer heads on my 327 and they SCREAM!! $1000 fro Summit.

   Some of the other retail warehouses taht advertise in Car Carft and Super Chevy have good deals on decent complete cast iron performance heads. Still not a bad option and right in your price range. They make great HP and unless you really are going for the weight difference of aluminum, I don't think it's a noticeable difference...Then again, they do look good...

Good luck,

Paul
