some of you may have missed the posts on here by torkrules (john) and myself about the issues with mp aluminum hemi heads and this is what this ? is related to. if i'm going to switch to the stage v heads, which 1s do i want (for an easy conversion) and who sells them. as always thanks for your help! dave
Dave,
If you want direct bolt ons you want the replacement heads. The Millennium heads are a little more exotic and for larger displacement engines. They also move the exhaust ports up which might cause fit problems in the car(you would need custom headers).
If you want to go this route, Tim Banning at FHO is a very good source. He buys the heads raw and builds around them. I bought a set from him. They are a bit overkill for my use (He had them already built, just had to swap my valve springs. CNC ported and 2.30 intake valves) I had to do some strategic grinding around the top of cylinder to make sure those bigger valves cleared (I have a 4.255 bore. I wouldn't have to do this with a larger bore or the standard 2.25 valve).
FWIW, the Edelbrock heads appear to be a good alternative. I haven't heard anything bad about them.

I was just at Bob Mazzolini Racing in Riverside Calif. and he has a set of the Stage V Engineering heads on the shelf. They have already had the necessary valve job and blending along with port cleanup done. They are nice heads. The Stage V replacement heads are what you are looking for. www.bobmazzoliniracing.com
10.53 @ 125mph. 1.37 60 foot. Caltracs and Monoleafs, AFCO shocks.
Heads by INDIO MOTOR MACHINE; IMM. CP Pistons, PC Carbs.

Tim Banning at FHO gets them in by the crate. I bought them from him as cheap as anywhere else, he worked them over CORRECTLY and shipped them to me. If you buy them from a builder like Tim you will save some shipping charges if nothing else. If there is any profit to be made from a part I would sooner see a guy that does great work get it as opposed to a simple part merchandiser.

I second Tim, great guy to do business with, would use him again without a hessitation
