Darren,
Here is part of an email I got from Tim Banning, when I was ordering parts for my build.
It may clear things up for you.


Hi Mark, the bare Stage V replacement heads price out at $0000pr bare. I need you to specify which block you intend to run, so we can machine the correct water passages and steam holes to match. We also need to know your application/cam choice to price out assembled and/or ported heads with appropriate valve sizes and spring/retainer combos. We stock Stage V rockers, OEM rocker assemblies, KB, World Product aluminum and or cast iron blocks. Our CNC replacement heads can be finish machined from mild to wild depending on hp requirements. Let us know. Tim @FHO

I know I had to have the steam holes in my MP heads welded up so I could redrill the holes so they'd line up with the holes in the deck of my KB block. The KB block has it's own specific head gasket also...not sure about the World blocks. CHIP
