I think made by same guy that makes sidewinders--Nice quality--good real bronze guides--good quality seats and seat fit--nice Eddy knock off --excellent quality--lots less than Eddys when bought at right place--bout time....You can buy equal quality Chevy head for $500 a pair range so..again we get it in the shorts because we are Mopar 16 guides and seats cost same--aluminum cost same--machine work same--shipping same etc so a pattern box that takes a couple weeks--little trial and error then good to go from now on...

So you buy Lays chips or store brand that are way less than half price of Lays Come on No way to build a non china part Mopar car-- Those heads are cheaper than that Egay ad at other places and Eddys have just gone up and up and up and even they have imported valves , springs etc I would think and I have used a truck load of Sidewinders and NEVER had to hone a tight guide like good ole USA Eddys-- Little too late to start the Buy USA deal again--impossible now to source everything you want from US made--ain't happening We did not do this--it was Done to us!

Sure am glad I buy American if at all possible.. from the sounds of it here the American companies might as well close their doors and let China do the engineering... oh wait.. they dont engineer anything... they just steal from other companies and make it

And we wonder why no one wants to make the investment to make new blocks, heads and decent parts. Why would they want to create something, have the Chinese steal and copy it and watch people line up to buy the junk to save a few dollars?
I'm surprised Edelbrock, MSD, Holley, and a few others haven't thrown in the towel in frustration.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Pro comp even gives China crap a bad name--they have sold a million SBC heads though--the guides are yellow but they are not bronze--Worst stuff in the world period but...the guy that makes these is a real business man and hard working guy--he has a clean modern factory and cares--If I had to guess he has put everything he owns on the line --taking a chance--making a good product and going for it! Now that--is chasing the dream and anyone who runs that route is OK on my list These really are well cast, quality aluminum, quality bronze guides, seats and seat fit to head is first rate--you will like them --Think Sidewinder small block head

MSD went bankrupt several years ago. A holding company MSDP bought it. MSDP bought Accel group end of 2014. End of 2015 Holley Product bought MSDP.

Gee I wonder where my w9's were made. I wonder where my r1a block was made. I wonder where my Carrillo rods were made. How about the diamond pistons? Maybe my Del west valves? How about my Mopar 420 intake? Oh that's right you can't build a Mopar without China crap, I think not. You just have to look around and you can find plenty of company's that make what you need.
