Hi everyone
can anyone shed light on a dilemma I'm facing.
I'm doing a project build...a 1959 290hp FI motor.
im looking for the heads and I had decided to go with the 550s. But then I read in Corvette by the numbers that the 550 heads for the 290hp...and only the 290 had cooling holes drilled in opposite the steam recesses which lined up with the cylinder block cooling holes.
Is is this true ? And if so does anyone have a pic of what this looks like!
thanks!
