Oh hell yeah.

Wow! Sorry for the Carnage. You can put an open chamber head on an engine with closed chamber pistons but not a closed chamber head on an engine with open chamber pistons. Unfortunately many a person has found that out the same way the engine you have has. Glad to hear you have a new engine and are putting into that nice Monte! Good luck!

The heads I have are 3964290 heads (closed chamber) with a 101 cc head, 2.060/1.740 valves. I also have a Comp. Cams Hydraulic 280H. I need to find out the specs. of this cam. I'm thinking of a Lunati cam with .550" lift and a 234/244 duration @.050" but will find out from my builder which to go for. I had that Comp. cams profile in '72 Nova with a turbo350 auto. with 4:10 gear and N50"s under the car and it ran a best of 11.90 in the Quarter mile.
