IIRC the stealths don't have freeze plugs in the ends either.

The ends look completely stock, including the freeze plugs. Here are a couple pictures of the ends and heat riser area:

That head looks dramatically different than a 906/346 head. It looks more like a 452. IMO it shouldn't be used on a car like a V code Cuda.

And some of you guys need to get your eyes checked if you think the lack of the exhaust heat crossover is "not noticeable".

I think you need a bit of a reality check. An edelbrock rpm head looks dramatically different than a 906 head sure, but the stealth heads are close enough that the casual observer isn't going to notice. However the nit-pickers who are looking to find something wrong will notice. But for the record, all the stock parts and accessories will bolt right up to them. Once the motor's fully assembled and in the car it will look close enough to stock that 99% of mopar guys would not notice the difference unless it was pointed out to them.

Thank you for your concern, but no reality check needed here. I am not a nit picker and my vision isn't as good as it used to be, but I can spot those easily on any casual inspection-painted or not. And so can anyone that I know, so Would Joe Blow know the difference?NO. The important thing is that YOU are satisfied with them.

No way I would be putting them on any of my stuff.

But if they are small enough I guess it wouldnt hurt to have aluminum heads on ana otherwise all stock looking engine...Id hate to dump $$ on old 906 castings when I can buy brand new heads for $900 bucks that will overpower the 906 heads, not to mention offer weight savings. Also, its not a permanent mod....so I dont feel guilty about doing it...or using new H beam rods, or an updated hydraulic cam grind...we'll see...

Since the stealth heads Have been brought up I would like to add I was told to stay away from the stealth heads as well as their water pumps. I am going to be putting the 440 source 512 stroker in my charger and the stealth heads but was told by the guy they were having trouble with them and was told the Elderbrock Victor was the better bang for the buck.I don't have a clue about heads period or the water pumps but he did say the 440 Source stroker kits were holding up good.What are your guys opinion?

---

I know the 440 source water pump housing caused me 2 yrs of overheating pain because the lower inlets were 1/2 the size as the stock housings(at the 90deg angle). swaped back to a stock WP housing and my eng is running GREAT

All aftermarket heads come from China so they all look alike.

Slanted?
