OT: SBC Vortec heads, Need info Options

[r_towle]

This is OT for 914s, but there are a lot of smart SBC guys here, and I know very little about them, so hoping you guys can shed some light on this for me.

Who knows about Vortec heads and intakes?

I have two SBC 350 motors from the 80,s
They are named Crusader 270 and they are marine motors for my boat.

I want to change the heads to Vortec heads and intake for carbs.

So, I am looking for early heads, cast iron.
Not looking for high horsepower new aluminum heads, it's a boat.
Boats are about torque, not horsepower.

So, specifically I am looking for which truck to get them from at the junkyard.
I will stick with carbs, just easier this time around to stay away from fuel injection.

Any helpful advise will be welcome.

if you go with the patriot heads you reuse everything, valve covers and intake saving you money from buying intake and valve covers.

the aluminum intake would not fair well in a marine environment / salt water.

promaxx have been review with very positive remarks for quality and finish. and should out perform gm vortec heads.

if i were you i would pick the promaxx
