I'm picking up my 348 and while the heads are removed I am getting the heads with it, actually I am getting everything from carb and distributor to exhaust manifolds and oil pan. The casting number on the heads is 3758379. Looking up info on them and it doesn't look like they breath very well and I can't find any builds so far that have used them. Can these heads be worked on to make some power or are they best kept as far to the rear of the trunk of the car to assist in transferring power to the rear wheels?
Also getting a 4 barrel intake with a casting number of 3732757. I am pretty set on some kind of multi carb intake set up, but is this intake worth anything more than scrap iron going rate? I've thought about budget building with this at first and then later changing to a multi carb set up, mainly to funnel money into quality things that are hard to change later such as crank, pistons, rings, and rods. Top end parts can be swapped out in a weekend.
Looking at the date codes and casting numbers this would have been a date code correct 59 passenger car 348.
