depending on the type of head anywhere from 550 to 600 NEW ANSWER- YOU said stock, so in that case anything over 400 lift will cause spring coil bind, and brake the spring. NEW ANSWER- somewhere between .450 to .500 should be max lift before any binding on 87+ heads, stock lift is between .417 and .430 with 1.5 ratio stock rockers
Anything over 400 lift , you will start having problems. Pulling studs out of heads, coil spring bind, rocker arm problems. Ect...
Around 450, to 460, lift, 250, to 260 degrees duration, 116, centerline. New answer: If you run anything bigger then a 400 Lift, Then you MUST change the rocker arms to a LONG SLOT rocker arm are you will CUT the rocker arm studs in half. Even with the 400 LIFT it will still try and probley pull the rocker arm studs out of the head if the studs are pressed in like MOST stock heads are.
305 heads of course, 350 heads will fit for sure and possibly 400. obviously no big block heads will fit. a 305 with 400 heads gets you a little over 352. 350 with 400 heads is a 383. add and divide
it depends on what block the 1993 heads are from. im thinking they are from the lsx family. and if they are you cannot put them on your 400 the heads just wont fit bolt patterns are wrong and the heads are just a totally different design.
Good compression, good heads, good cam.
Probably not. 400 heads came with 1.94 intakes and 1.5 exhausts, and many of them had 76cc chambers. If the 350 has smaller chambers the 400 heads would lower the compression ratio, thus reducing power.
No, no, no. Two totally different motors.
No, Not even close, Totally different designs.
Why 400 heads? They are notoriously bad flowing heads without much modification the engine would be about 360 cubic inches, but the heads have nothing to do with the size of the engine.
noNEW ANSWER: Sorry but the above answer is wrong. The only thing that is different on the 400 heads is that they have steam holes in them and it don't matter if they are blocked off by the head gasket. And YES they will bolt right on the 350 block with no problems.
Factory stock, the 400 cu. in.
