Rick, just what is so bad about them? Are the castings poorly done, or is it the quality of the hardware? It sounds like if you got a set for free, you would use them for trot line weights. LOL What is the story?
There is nothing wrong with the heads in a stock power application. I've had them and used them. The problem (for a performance based application) is the price of the Edelbrocks. $2,600 (or whatever they are today). If somebody gives you a new set of the heads in question, you will have to UPS them somewhere, have them ported and larger intake valves installed to get to the 430 cfm that the Edelbrocks flow out of the box, and shipped back to you. Your bill will be close to $2,600. Now do you see the problem? Victor Jr's are a game changer.
