Won't raise it enough for the aluminum, you'll end up with drivability/gas mileage issues

Stock 318 heads open chamber are 60cc and 67' closed chamber @ 57cc

What are the eddy's?

You need at least 9.1 ,
You could have them milled

thanks for the help, if i get them milled and get 9.1 will the 600 eddy carb be to small or can i run a 650 or higher with the 2.02 eddy heads? Iam told that these heads flow very well, again thanks for the help. DAVE

600 Carb will work fine for the cubes unless you have lots of gear and a big cam, of corse then you'd have 10.5+ comp......
And ask them to mill enough to get 9.5 if you can.
