I use rocker shafts on my 434. You should consider that too for extended time at 7,000 rpm. use a rev limiter obviously. Not sure what those heads flow but you should still make over 600 hp from 6,000 rpms.
need head flow numbers at valve lift to get a better idea of HP |

I see 649 hp plus or minus. I wouldnt try that combo with out rocker shafts myself.good luck,Im sure it will be scary fast in a light car.
dart or afr cnc ed 227s would probably be worth the extra $ if you have not yet bought heads? |

Thanks! Already had the heads on my 434. Basically replaced the short block. I'll check into a set of Jesel rockers. Not sure if I can swing a grand for rockers until next spring.
Only thing I don't have yet is the push rods. Will measure this weekend to order. Intake is still at the porters. If I get close to 649hp I'll be very pleased. |

Even with the correct valve springs, I'd at least opt for a rev kit, Isky makes a nice one.

Rev kit can be used with ant camshaft.talk to your cam manufacturer about the springs you have and the new rocker arm ratio.The rocker shaft is good for sustained high rpms with w/e springs you need to use,,,

Gotcha. Springs were installed by Bryce at Dr.Js. I have the build sheet in the garage, I'll double check them with Lunati. Bryce told me they had room to grow if I changed rockers.
