Dart Heads

Does anyone know if these will work on the 455?

I was looking at these as far as a replacement to the low flow factory heads. I was looking at the iron eagle line specifically. The description is for Chevy big blocks, but I wouldn't see much of a wretch going from 454 to 455.

No, they will not work. The only after market heads that I am aware of that fit the Oldsmobile are the Edelbrocks, Batten (shich are not made anymore), and the heads from rocket racing. Others with chime in on this

Dumbass, question I know but I had to ask. The price is what really appealed to me, they're significantly cheaper than the Edelbrock heads.

Guess I'll have to find another set of heads since I believe mine to be from a 72 and I'd like to get maybe a little more power out. I keep reading the article about Mondellos 500hp 455 and getting ideas.

Dont think that u need alum heads for the 450-500 hp range a good set of big valve C heads with some work can take u there,as i learned from others here

Oh I know. It can be done with factory heads punched out a little. But since I'm still in the planning stages I'm looking at all options.
