Can somebody advise me as to which sets of heads off which XR-8 would suit my 289 (67) as I'm starting to get annoyed with the fuel additves you have to add at the servo.
I can recall a comment but forget when.
Cheers
Ashley

EB - AU V8 heads will all bolt on, not just the XR8 heads.

I'm running ED XR8 heads on my '67. They are commonly known as E7's.

AU2 - AU3 XR8 heads would require special headers/extractors due to the spark plug angle. From memory, they are referred to as GT40P's

Only Alloy versions I'm aware of were on the T series cars. Aftermarket, there are quite a few options.

Daryl.

Are your 289 heads stock or ported ? What brand of roller rockers ?

Thanks,
Frank.

Absolutely; mine did, and use the stock exhaust and inlet manifolds.
