I want some Edelbrock heads for the 67 with 289, will I need to notch the pistons if I use the #6025's with 2.02 valves?I heard that someone rents the equipment to notch the pistons while in the block, some kind of fixture that bolts down like the head with a cutter in the valve guides, has anyone else heard of this? Or... should I go with the 1.90 valve heads?

I left out some info, these heads will eventually be used on a 351w, maybe a stroker but still mild enough to drive, 408 ci ?
Camshaft will be similar to the old 289 hipo or maybe just a little more duration.
3.50 gear and 5 speed

The 2 inch valve heads will NOT make anymore power with the camshaft that you are planning on using. They would be overkill. They need a HUGE cam and induction system to be of any benefit. Go with the 1.90 units for both combos.  ------------------

I'm not sure what you are planning for the 408CI stroker so maybe you do need more flow down the road but with the cam you are talking about I don't think you will have any clearance issues. I don't know the specs but I believe you will have clearance for a bit more than .500 lift without notching the pistons. As always though clay just to be sure.I needed notching with my last motor with TFS heads and a .540 list cam.

270S or H COmp is my "pat" choice for most S&S combo's with medium heads. ------------------

Thanks guys, more info helps a bunch, I'll probably go with the #6022 heads and I'll check the specs on those cams.
Thanks, Stu.------------------
