Yes, heads are doing fine. Have not driven it yet but throttle response is terrific!

It's an Edelbrock that came with the heads and cam as a package. That was assembled in 2014 I believe. I did the same to a C3 small block. Heads, cam, intake. All matched to run correctly in a specified rpm range of 1500-6500. Both motors run exceptionally well. That Olds has an MSD, 3.73, Tremec 5 Speed, Hotchkis suspension lowered an inch or so. Really neat car.

If I had the part number I would provide it. It did come as a package though if I remember right.

It’s a 7551. It’s cast right into the rear of the intake.

It's nice to see a tri power carb set up being used. When you say out of the box do mean straight out of the box with out inspection or just un- ported?

No, I did not do any port work. I took enough springs off and measured and closely inspected heads and valves that I'm satisfied. Over all the heads looked pretty good.

There you go! That show is incredible. I never miss it. I've found the trickery to make it even better for me. If you drive to it, you can access the valet parking in the circle at the entrance under the canopy at the front. Just pull in. It's 20 bucks I think and you don't need your coat either. It only took me about 10 years to figure this out but it sure is nice.
