I saw this ad on Facebook and was just curious on which head this is? Pro Comp, Sidewinder or 440 Source? Has anyone tried to order these this way direct from the supplier? Surfing through this website I found several other listings for both big block an small block heads.

I found this link for a HEMI crate engine very interesting. Made in Indonesia?

The head is a procomp I believe, $300 for an assembled head. That's sketchy lol

I'm pretty sure that $300 price is if you buy a container full.

i think that's a bulk buy on "future" sidewinder heads.

The Sidewinder heads are being sold for $895 per pair with valves,seals, springs, assembled. Those heads look much like the Sidewinders and the picture is a bare head. Add in the costs for the hardware, assembly, shipping and it makes sense. That vendor only shows 1 transaction to S.Africa in Augest.

Alibaba.com is like a Chinese based ebay, so I would be concerned about knock offs and copies. Probably hard to return stuff, but I may be wrong.

That's putting it mildly...
