    I have for sale the following used performance parts for a BBB.
    Parts are located in extreme southern Michigan just north of the Indiana border above South Bend/Mishawaka/Elkhart area. I 80/90 is very close.
    Prices do not include shipping.

    One Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold. Plenum divider has been cut down on secondary side about 3/4". Runners were gasket matched to the heads I have for sale below. Manifold is painted red and the paint is flaking in spots. Manifold is in good shape all holes and threads are fine. Bolt pattern is for a Quadrajet.

    One set of steel heads converted to Stage One specs. and Street Strip Ported by Jim Burek's PAE Buick shop. Heads are complete, they are painted red and the paint is flaking on these also. See pictures and flow sheet attached.

    One set of 5/16" pushrods for above heads/stock deck height block. I used a set of roller rockers so I am not completely sure on the pushrods but they are the ones that Jim sent me with the heads.

    One set of BBB steel valve covers painted red.

    The above parts were on my street 464 for about 5000 miles/5 years and worked fine. The only reason I am selling is I updated to a $et of Aluminum heads and a $P1.

    I would like to sell all the above as a package if possible. If not, after some time I will sell the manifold seperate from the heads. I have a box for the intake manifold. I do not have boxes for the heads and would prefer the buyer to pick them up at the house or some other mutually agreed on location.
    Leave me a post here and a private message and I will respond in order I receive.
    Price is $850.00 for everything + shipping.
    I will try to attach pictures.
    Peace, Mike D.

    Mike,

    Have the heads been shaved? If so, how much? Any previous (or current) cracks that have been repaired?

    Thanks, Chris

    I am interested too. What kind of roller rockers come with it and what ratio? Were these used with heads and push rods when you ran it for 5000 miles?

    Also Mike,

    I forgot to ask, are these 400 or 455 heads? Do they use 400 or 455 style oiling? are the pushrods 400 or 455?

    Thanks, Chris

    Mike, I see you say the come with One set of 5/16" pushrods for above heads/stock deck height block. So does this mean the heads haven't been shaved and will work with a stock height deck as well?

    Also, Any previous (or current) cracks that have been repaired?

    Thanks, Chris

    Chris, no crack repair that I know of. They are 73 heads. PAE might of decked them slightly to straighten them out but there is no evidence of that . I used them on a stock deck height block piston was in hole .038 with a Poston 113A cam. Head gasket was .047 (maybe .042) if I remember right. I did use adjustable rockers with them so exact length push rods weren't as important. You will have to be sure on compression ratio with the crap gas. My setup was right on the edge but ran well. Better than what I have in there now but that is a different $tory.
    Carl, the rockers are not included they were 1.6 ratio T&D. You are #2 if still interested.
    Allen you are #3
    Jaybird you are #4
    Peace, Mike D.
