Just curious, is anyone running a set of these heads? Opinions? Looks like they take a lot of extra machine work. But I have a shot at a set pretty cheap. And thought this might be kind of cool to give a try?

I have no personal experience with them, but I have heard that off-the-shelf hemi headers will not fit with the wedge motor mounts. So you need a motor plate or custom headers.

I run the regular stage V heads, they make some great stuff. Motor plate and extra machine work would well be worth it. The exhaust ports are raised really helping the flow. TTI makes the headers, I run them on mine (until I make some zoomies) You will save lots of money for he machine work with being able to use a 440 block but the flip side is he will have a basterd oddball two bolt main motor that will never be worth much. JMO.

The girdles do not increase the strength or thickness of the main webbing in any block Know your parts limits and then choose them wisely How many racers and engine builders on here have put girdles on RB blocks and had them come back later with cracks in the main webbing running up into the cylinders I've seen and heard of more than two

No cracks yet. Lots of passes on it. We have a number of stroked wedges running on the street and strip, and the girdle is the only way to go for anything over 600hp that is going to be flogged on a drag strip. Keeps cap walk away and allows it to live. If its a cushy street car making 700hp, I would still put one on, but some folks don't want them. Here is my 6.19 pass from this weekend on my pump gas stroked 440! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_XTmRBuvWs

Wonder if someone watched the Jokers from here.Fat and Furious supposedly paid 25K for one of the built motors.If I was paying for a hemi in my car and for what they supposedly got paid it better be a Hemi.For less than that you could have got a real Hemi.Rocky
