Does A 760 Cylinder Need a Girdled Head?

I am building up a 760 motor and wondering if I should use a girdled head? Did anyone ever crack a 760 cylinder? I will be running a B pipe and won't have crazy compression, probably around 180 psi.

The 760 cyl is known for cracking. Mine cracked after a few seasons just like one of my buddies. We both run the B pipe. I would definitely recommend a girdled head. Call Paul at Magoos and have him send ya an ADA with domes.

you can run a non-girdled head all day long w/ that setup... IMO
 
I do have a girdled head but it is kind of beat up so I would like to use my new ADA non girdled head. I am thinking I will use 35cc domes, hopefully pump gas will work with them.

the only thing i see wrong ( I'm a pump gas guy) is 180 compression.. I'm pretty sure that will be race gas on a 62T 760 cylinder unported...
I beleve it will depend on you timing but with an enhancer your fine up to @185 psi untill you need to run an octane higher than 93
