Just buy a set of Edelbrock heads, Source heads, etc. Out of the budget. Can't swing it. Just curious if anyone has experience, good or bad, with these heads.

As I recall, he said they were best viewed as a "parts kit" to be finished by somebody else. Maybe things have changed, but since Indy/Aerohead still sell's 'em cheap, I'd have to assume they still build 'em the same, too.

I had no complaints at all and thought it was a good investment Of course, I did not do a back to back test against the PAW built stock 346s with 2.08x1.74 valves that I swapped, so I have no idea if it really made any difference at all I still think, they would be fine for a mild build. If you spend more, you have a right to expect more, but you will spend a lot to get a little Last edited by Polarapete; 04/01/14 01:48 PM. 1986 Dodge Ramcharger 440 2wd, Bracket Racer Under Construction 1998 Ram 2500 QuadCab, new daily driver. 2008 Honda Element 2014 Carry-On 7x14 Cargo Trailer

Because they installed the larger valves with no port work, there was a large diameter step in the bowls, but 10 hours of porting cleaned them up pretty nice.

You can buy a bare set of aluminum heads for $800. Put in 2.14-1.81 valves and light springs with a valve job, and you have less weight, and a better set of heads for around $1200 JMO

Also sounds out of my price range. I don't think the car will stick around long enough for me to change heads.

You are making this too complicated and it isn't and it is making you lose interest. I want to see you driving it in May or I want my engine back. I want to Kick your back side with my 70 Bee at Norwalk also. Just get it going as is. David
