I am thinking about buying a set of these for my 360 Magnum for the 72 Dart. Fully assembled with a 1 year warranty for $479.00 and they sound like they are similar to the Quest heads. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...304650&rd=1Joe

Wayfarer those look like the chinese imitations that i have heard bad things about. The real EQ is made in newzealand or austrailia. They are a real good bang for the buck. The best bang for the buck is the pro-toplines if you can find a set. I hav e a pair of them at the house and have had all 4 iron mags at the house at once R/T EQ PT and factory and the R/T would be best in a max effort build then the topline would be best in OOTB build then the EQ then the factory. I have not seen the chinese one in person but the casting quality looks terible in all the pics I have seen. I am supposed to have 2 pairs of aluminum mopar mags at my house this eavning and if they look as good as they sound I will probably sell my Pro-Toplines.

I checked out clearwater and they're heads (EQ) are 325 per head with shipping @ 50 for both and they pay the shipping for the return of a set of cores. The warranty is three years unlimited. So for $700 dollars I would say that these are the best bang for my budget.
Unless someone knows of a place that offers them cheaper....

the $325ea CME ones had upgraded springs (gm 3100, search the tech archives for details), not stock ones like the clearwater heads....you'll be at least another $100 into upgrading the stock springs...

welp, here's the email I sent, and the reply: Patrick, That cylinder head with the OE valves and type of springs you want would run $325.00 each for the new EQ castings. With the Chevy .100" long valves, they would run $425.00 each. We do not have any good used castings at this time. We appreciate you contacting CAROLINA MACHINE ENGINES. Let me know when you are ready to place your order. You can call us toll free at 1-800-903-6446, Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Eastern time. Thank you, Joe Friar Assistant Manager Carolina Machine Engines PO Box 187-171 Lee St Johnston, SC 29832 800-903-6446 www.cmengines.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick Grossman To: sales@cmengines.com Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 9:39 AM Subject: cylinder head question How much for a set of '92-02 Dodge Magnum cylinder heads remanufactured w/a 5 angle valve job, and with valve springs that would be good to about .51" lift with a 350 lb/in rate? (I'm thinking, using the springs/retainers from a GM 3100 V-6 application set up at about 1.65" installed height with the dodge locks) Alternately, it looks like you are an Enginequest dealer. how much for a set of Enginequest 318B heads bare? assembled with a similar valve/spring combo as above, or using 1.94"/1.625" Small block chevy 11/32 stem, +.100" length valves, and a spring setup good for about .55" lift with a similar spring rate? in a follow up email, he said they do their own valve job on them, so I'm guessing they would play with that a bit to get the proper installed height for the springs I requested?

I just talked to the company offering the new casting Magnum heads on Ebay for $479.00/pair assembled. The guy said the are made by Pro Comp which is an Australian company.
They are supposed to be nice, clean castings. Anyone have experience with Pro Comp products? Good, Bad, Ugly?

Pro comps are junk chinese castings. Pro-Toplines are austrailian made but are no longer made. I have a brand new set however I might be willing to sell.

Enginequests are cast in either Austrailia or New Zeeland. Pro Comp claims to be an austrailian company, but their heads are cast (and I think machined) in china
