That is the Guy! Roofing Contractor that had a 56 Corvette that was as clean as a firetruck and ran like a scalded dog. Super nice dude too.

Are those "Little Chief" heads?

Yes, I believe they are. Anything surrounding those heads require mucho $$$$ but definately the baddest head for a SBC.

I don't know anything about those heads... how do they compare to a SB2.2?

SB2.2 Has symmetrical intake ports but the conventional style exhaust ports with the center 2 being close to each other.

The Dart Little Chief is, I think, a 11 degree head and has symmetrical intake and exhaust ports along with canted valves similiar to the Ford heads. This design helps eliminate the hot spots that the older style SBC heads have in the center of the head and is a major advantage when trying to keep the head gaskets on an ultra high hp engine. They can flow over 400 cfm and make well over 2000 hp on a small block. But they require a sheetmetal intake, special lifter bores in the block, custom roller lifters, custom rocker setup and so on.

The BD 2000 from Brodix is also a symmetrical exhaust port head but more reasonable $$ than the Dart.

The Little Chiefs are Expensive!! Try explaining that to Mommasita.

I knew the SB2.2 were 11* heads, but I didn't realize that the exhaust wasn't symmetrical.

On a related note, I heard or read somewhere that the GM guys are getting a new block approved for Nascar. The cam is raised significantly and the pushrods will only have to be 4" long.
