gsmopar OP super stock Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 1,145 Arizona, USA	I need heads for a 572 Roller Cam pump gas hemi and am looking at Stage V, Indy, and Edelbrock. Hughes Engines are claiming 446 CFM on their prepped Edelbrock head ( Hughes Link ) for $2800. Looking for feedback and experiences with all options and price paid if you have it. Thanks!!!

Stage V is my favorite but more bucks by the time you have someone complete them. Edelbrocks flow good, are ready to bolt on and cheaper than you could buy complete aluminum hemi heads at that flow rating 40 years ago. God I love it. 2011 Drag Pak Challenger

God I love it. yes, they do look good for the price. they do have the edelbrock logo on them, so as long as that isn't an issue. and whoever designed their logo needs to take a quick look at an elephant. it looks like a cross between an elephant and a cow!

Cheaper and Hemi don't work together. i agree, but i don't know that the edelbrock heads fall into the category of cheaper, meaning quality. innocent until proven guilty, i have to assume they will be of the quality of the rest of the heads they make, and so would work fine for the intended application. i, on the other hand, won't be one to find that out personally!

I bought the bare castings from FHO and sent them to Modern Cylinder head. I got the heads, block, and CP pistons from Tim, years ago, so the price would not reflect what you would pay for them today. Note, that the valves are std. size.

They are far lighter than my 426-1 heads and will make the engine 1" narrower over the larger 426-1 heads. I will also be able to run T&D rockers if I so choose...

I just bought stage V's. Edelbrock castings are $1940 from Summit, Stage V castings were $2100. Which ever way you ask about the steam holes in the deck. I think Edelbrock and Stage V come with them, I don't think Indy does. I don't think Indy blocks have the steam holes either. MP blocks do and KB does but they move them so they do not interfere with the sleeve flange. Stage V will put the holes in the right spot for a KB block if you tell them when ordered.
