This is a 1996 F-250 HD super cab long bed 2wd with towing package. Its a very nice truck that is in excellent shape and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere, its very reliable and mechanically sound. The engine (5.8L HO) and auto transmission were replaced at 120k and the truck now has...
So since it already has 2.06 intake valve and 1.72 exhaust valve is it really worth pulling the heads off? The reason I said dart is because that is the only one that I have found that is made for a tall deck and I was wanting to try to stay away from spacers needed when using a standard BBC...
I have been checking on a few machine shops to see how big of valves they could fit in these heads. I was thinking of leaving the bottom end alone and just getting the heads opened up, bigger cam, roller rockers, put a good harmonic balancer in, and a dart tall deck aluminum intake with new...
Well I got the casting numbers off the heads and numbers are 343722, which according to a few different sites its form 1976-1984 Oval Port, Open chamber with 2.06 intake valve and 1.72 exhaust valve. Are these decent heads?
I am looking for a intake manifold for oval ports on a BBC, I would really like a tunnal ram, but might be open to others. Let me know what you have.

edit* I don't need heads anymore
So I pulled the intake off to take a look at the heads, here are pics... I am guessing these are the "peanut port heads" that I don't want. I guess I will track down some new heads, I will try to find some rectangle port heads. Can a machine shop do anyhing with these heads to open them up?
So what do you guys know about this engine, has anyone used the same 427 tall deck BBC for a build? I was thinking I should put a new cam in it and get rid of the stock Holly with a governor on it. What CFM carb should I use, 750? And what kind of luck have you guys had with what cams? I was...
Thanks for the info guys. I am getting ready to pull it, I am going to try to throw in into a 80s Monte Carlo if I can find one. I am pretty sure it has a Holly four barrel carb on it. What is this governor about?
I have a 1977 Chevy C65 truck with a Goodwrench 427 in it with only about 3k miles on it, just been used very little for years. The engine is the only thing worth keeping and scrap is up so she is getting scraped and I am wondering about keeping the engine. I know it holds 8qts of oil and I...
