They have no casting #s or manufacturer name. They are aluminum rectangle intake port and D-port exhaust, any help would be appreciated , Thanks! www.alsrapidtransit.com

Problem was this set was FULL and I mean FULL of old crack epoxy. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I hope if you paid much for them they had test paperwork and if your going to use them id surly get them looked over well and tested as mentioned. Good conversation/history parts but actually using them might be more hastle then its worth. No such things as gently used on them old heads. How jacked are the chambers? Probably o ringed as well.

I have a set also... that need lots of work, but they are a serious small block head!! Ive got a few intake manifolds if you need one
