Smartin Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 Taking into consideration the fact I will be needing to have the heads rebuilt on my 71 350, does anyone know of a good set I can bolt on? Hopefully close to the St. Louis area I know that the 455's in 70 had high compression heads and in 71 they came down 2 points. Is this the same with the 350? If so, I'd like to see if I can get my hands on a set of 70 350 heads. Would they bolt on without any alteration of the rest of the motor? I know I used an intake from a 70 and it was fine.What dictates the compression on a set of heads, anyway? I apologize for my stupidity, as I haven't been much of a motor buff in the past, but I'm trying to learn so I don't look like an idiot in the future when people ask me about these things Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 Adam, the compression did go down on the '71 350s also, but that was done with change in piston dome. Check out http://www.v8buick.com for some more info and possibly heads in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
