Unfortunately, 440-source is currently backordered on stealth heads. Ive had an order in with them for a couple of months now. They originally told me 4-6 weeks, but now They're saying mid December.

The container from China had a slight delay...

my opinion is save your money and buy eddies, edelbrock stands behind their stuff.

Oh so that's why eddys have a rep for taking them out of the box and straight to the machine shop for a couple hundred bucks worth of repair?

I don't know what problems you had with yours, however when I called about having bought a first production set which were said to have defective valve locks/retainers they gave me a new set without issue.

i am running a set on a 383 right now. i wouldnt buy another set, partially because of the quality issues but mostly the attitude i got when i emailed about the problem.

I stood up for Brandon here alot when he was bashed daily on quality and overseas sourcing issues, when it was my turn to experience those issues he blew me off.

save your money, cheap will cost you more in the long run.

so what was the issue ?

those heads look like they were run with the wrong antifreeze or the PH was way off on the mix. I have had a buddies set of heads off of his motor so we could slide a new 500 inch short block under them and there was no marking at all. Are those your heads or are you just saving the pictures so you can be part of the hater band wagon

your joking right? 5000miles NO WAY those heads should be looking like that. don't care if your running pure vinager.
if you look closly at those head pics its obvious that thats a casting issue. quality control was bypassed that day.
BTW what is the correct PH balance of antifreeze? all this time i thought it
was either 70/30, 60/40, or 50/50 mix. now its PH balance...
attached is a cylinder head with 80+k using the "wrong" antifreeze.

i have been worried about hard water in rads for a long time so this was the pre mixed stuff. so if that was the problem it was from the prestone factory.

when we found the problem dodgefarmer here repaired and surfaced them, they went on a new 383 and this time i bought distilled water and non mixed antifreeze and went 50/50 mix. no tap water anywhere.

hopefully problem is solved? i ran straight tap water in my blower motor with eddies and never had this issue.

You have aluminum heads on a iron block, flowing liquid through a copper/brass radiator with a cooling system with metal parts is gonna need special attention to prevent damage. Fully flushed block, clean out radiator, ionized and mineral free water, correct anti freeze mixture and proper grounds will go a long way to keeping your engine running good and problems down.

I just added mine in the top of the rad. Originally I was going to put it in place of the drain, but the tank wasn't wide enough. Now I still can use the drain, and I don't have to empty it to check or replace the anode.
