Ford 460 Heads Iron or Aluminum by Craig
Post New Message I am putting a new 460 in my motorhome. Going with the double roller timing chain, RV cam from Crane, Doug Thorley Headers, and some mild porting on the exhaust side of the heads.

Before I commit to the heads, I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has successfully run Aluminum heads in a Class A motorhome (18,000 GVW). Edelbrock says it shouldn't be a problem
(heat = warping???)and a Ford performance shop locally says it should be ok. Just about everyone else says NO WAY!

I am looking for someone with actual experience, or at least a reliable second hand knowledge. Anyone?
