I recently had some misfortune with my 427 in my chevelle. A valve broke and destroyed the head and piston. It had 049 heads with 2.19s 1.88 with bowl blending. 11.5 to 1 compression.
Going rebuild it. 14 to 1 compression and I have a pair of 990 heads I’d like to use. My 427 with be 60 over now so it’ll be a 439 ci now. Will the 990 be too big for my 427 planning revving it to 7500 vs 6800 with the 049s. Cam is 263/271 @.630 1obe sep. solid tappet.
Just looking for some input if these 990 would work good or not


wished everyday was raceday

I ran the 990 heads for years on my 427 back in the day.
Ran high 8's with them in my Corvette.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

I've had great luck with 990 heads on 454's , never had a 427 though. I've gone from ovals to 990's and always ran faster even in 3500+ lb cars.

I think you'll be happy.
