I agree.. the cost of rebuilding vs new your better off with new.. I'm running W-2s which are iron and weight more(about 40# per set) but they can be made to flow well.. I have mine at about 312 cfm(might be 315 now)but they are about max now.. I have a set of W-5s but an having a issue with them at the present time.. but I will get them right.. they flow 319 at 600 lift.. both take off set rockers.. but the alum W-5s are 40#lighter

Is there a ProMaxx Magnum equivalent? Not that I know of but it would be worth a call. Man did they jump up in price. http://www.jegs.com/p/ProMaxx-Performanc...451148/10002/-1

Mid 12's, buy a set of reconditioned Indy heads for $500. They come with new Stainless 2.02 / 1.60 valves, bronze guides, springs, seals, locks, retainers. Take them apart, pocket port and gasket match them, and that should put you in the mid 12 range on the cheap.

Rod Bloomer's heads are the best value for the money. Great flowing, lost cost and much better quality then the others. Two versions are available, factory non offset rocker and off set rockers.

Rods heads indeed look like nice pieces, and I applaud him for all the time and effort it took for him to be able to bring these to market.
However....... That doesn't mean they are going to be the best choice for every build. I think they are overkill for a stock stroke 360 in a 12 second car.
If I were making the decisions, it would get Edelbrock rpm heads.

Low 12s in a 3300 lb car? That sounds easy with a set of nearly stock magnum heads. As cast they flow 200, a little work if you have time and you're at 220-230. Or, a set of EQs that are 220-ish as cast. Or aluminum eddy heads at 240-250.
Cheap n easy.

I wouldnt mind finding a set of 360-1s at a reasonable price

Thinking may next two small block head purchases will be a set of W7 heads for a 48 degree block I bought since I got Jessel rockers and intake with it and a set of edelbrock Victor heads for my R3 block in my black duster to see if I can get it in the 8's

In your case stay simple and cheap to run the bracket you are aiming for

Edelbrock gets my vote as well. I went 11.50s with out of the box edelbrocks on a solid roller 11:1 360@3500lbs. I bought the heads, took them to the machine shop and had the valve job and guide tightness checked. Then I slapped on some springs to go with my cam and went racing. I later had Shady Dell to his stage II port job and install 2.05 intake valves. It went a best of 11.16@119.5. I just sold them to a member here, I almost didn't want to let them go they served me so well haha, the money is going to finish my Dana 60 and convert my tunnel ram to EFI though haha.
