Brodix heads

[eg30.06]

tomorrow i am going on a drive to drop off my SF 14 bolt and $300 and coming home with a pair of aluminum Brodix heads hardly used from the looks of them. i think im making out alrite but i am just not sure much about them. all he would tell me is their bad a** heads with 2.08 1.60 valves and 65cc chambers and all titanum valves. when i asked for the casting numbers he gave me Brodix -10, what does that mean and what am i getting? thanks

Unless you are building something hardcore those are way overkill. Brodix lists the -10 heads for 355-406ci engines with a minimum of 11.5 to 1 compression ratio, Flat tappet or roller cam. RPM range of 4000-7000 and the application Brodix lists for them are Oval Track/Bracket Race/Pro Street. So to put it simply these will not work on a stock tbi, or vortec engine, or be very street friendly.

^ what he said. those are good heads for sure but not useable on anything streetable.

I am building a sbc 406 now but only looking for about 350 hp and good torque. Im doing away with the tbi defintaly and probably going carb. Could i get away with using them on my 400? What does the -10 mean? Whats the value on these heads? Thanks

The -10 is just the model number.

I would do the trade. Those heads are worth far more then a 14B is worth.

you should look into making more than a meek 350 hp with those.

Like I said, these aren't for the street. These heads are made for a consistently high revving engines. Brodix does make some streetable heads but theses arent even close. But I wonder why someone is trading a 14bolt and 300 bucks for heads that I'm guessing were around $1500-2500 new

just got home with them. he said he really needs the rear and and what i had is exactly what hes looking for and that hes building a LSX motor now so he no longer needs them. i wansnt going to argue with that.
