The exhaust sits fairly high. I looked over all the engine parts and found a bunch of junk. stock heads,std valves single spring, hypereutectic flat top pistons and football rods. Intake was an Edelbrock air gap Holley 850 engine is a closed cooling system.
combination of bent rods, pushrods and heads pretty rusty indicates it ingested plenty of water. No block when I purchased so I cant look at that.
The headers are rotted out at the first bend right after the flanges, It looks like they may of had too much water from the jet and no relief valve. new to this so I'm just trying to keep it simple.
I have a virgin 460 block now at the machine shop getting squared up. The crank was junk so now I have a 10/10 factory one and the rods will be H or I beams. Pistons will be forged I'm not sure yet on which ones it will depend on the heads. I have a line on a set of Motorsport aluminum heads.-not looking for a lot of torque and HP I just want dependability with some performance.
I've heard that they Bassett headers are not recommended for a closed engine compartment.
Can anyone elaborate on this
