These are the Mopar magnum aluminum heads( same as Edelbrock, and cast by Edelbrock , they just have the Mopar emblem and part number on them ). I need a pair bare. I wont be using the springs,valves, retainers and keepers from them, so I thought if I could find them bare and hopefully CHEAPER, then that would be nice. Thanks for any help.

For those that say " why dont ya just get the Edelbrock heads, they are cheaper "......the reason is these Mopar part number heads are the legal heads for use on a the 5.9 Drag Pak Challenger engine combination.

I was wondering when someone was going to build a 5.9 Challenger or use that engine in a SS/GT.

Wish I could help you.
Heck! I wish I was in a position to put one together!

Good luck.

Teuton is running this 360 combination in his former Top Stock Duster as a Super Stock GT/FA car. Its basically a super stock 360 magnum engine with these heads and fuel injection. Its an awesome combination I think. I'd just like a set of these heads bare.

It's already being done by Sid Bonnecarrere out of the Southland stables. He has it in a '70 Duster and competes in GT/FA. Needless to say, it easily runs -1.15 under the index.

BTW, if someone ever builds the 5.9 Challenger for stock, they will qualify #1 anywhere. This combo is killer at an NHRA rated 275hp. I'm pretty sure that these things would be able to run -2.00 under the index...

Learn something new every day! For some reason I didn't give the engine in their Duster much thought but was glad they could get that ex-Top Stock car into SS. It didn't take much time for him to jump on the opportunity!

Thanks guys.

best bet would call someone like Mancini Racing and see if they are available bare.

thats a vendor ship direct part # so it's hard to say how fast you could get a set...there are 3 dealerships showing up on the locator having them in stock..if your interested PM me here and i'll give you contact info.. ....ahh i didn't read your post close enough...obviously the part # you gave is a complete head..i'm not sure about any bare castings...sorry for the mis-take.

Careful there, the 3 dealers showing stock don't have the correct part number....they have the old number P4876624 which won't work.

Far as I know a bare head isn't going to happen through Mopar. Going to have to buy them complete and then sell off whatever isn't needed for the build....

Yep, of all the drag pak combinations the 5.9 is the sleeper of the bunch!
