Unless you're hell bent on using Edelbrock, go with the Thitek Big Bear heads. They are fantastic from every aspect......fit, finish, etc...workmanship is the best. Prices are very reasonable. I have them.

I am not sure why there needs to be an eddelbrock head, is it going to flow better than a hellcat/6.2 or apache for less money? Seems those are some really tough obstacles to overcome. What am I missing? I would think a competatively priced carb intake, maybe some shorty headers for easier retro-fits or plug in standalone EFI for a JY enigne is about all the big holes in that market that eddelbrock typically deals in right now, perhaps their own line of cams I could understand just to compete with comp not that it's a hole in the market. Maybe eddelbrock should branch out and do some rods that are a dirrect fit drop in that don't snap off all the time.

I agree, so many other parts that would sell. Based on what I read about edelbrock heads now as is, no way I'd waste my $ on them.

When you look at what they cost already setup with bronze guides and .650 lift springs ready to go, and the cost of having a set of stockers put into that same condition, they are cheaper.

This plus they are cast from 356 t6 aluminum unlike the lower quality alloy used in the stock heads. I called Edelbrock on this and they said they are a ways out yet so my guess is at least 6 months.
