Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and figured I'd try to expand my knowledge about high performance engine building. I just won a set of 327 62cc camel hump heads off of ebay and plan on rebuillding them and putting them on a 383 stroker engine that I also want to build later on. Is this a good idea? I'm thinking about domed pistons but read in another thread that the 461 casting camel humps have problems with domed pistons and spark plugs. So I'm not too sure about that yet. I tried to use the engine analyzer program but just ended up pulling my hair out!!!!http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/images/smilies/mad.gif Someone please enlighten me on this subject and give me any suggestions that you think will be useful.

Those heads were killer back about 15 years ago !! now NOT SO MUCH !!
The thing about he 461 heads is the plug location is real low , you can run dome pistons ,but will need race fuel..
You would be better off with performance prepped vortecs!! but the 461 head will work.. I would stick with a flattop dished piston though.for about 10.0 cpomression

10:1 isn't that bad with flattop dished pistons. I plan on porting and polishing the heads also before I build the motor and put them on too so I should have a decent pair of heads for my stroker

Look at this thread from September and updated just recently. Good discussion on your exact question.
