[abodyjoe]

  they were posted on another forum..  heres the info...   hard to even consider iron heads any more.....




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Everyone's been asking... and here it is!! These things are absolutely awesome!! You can put these side by side with any "name brand" big block Mopar head out there (which I'm sure many will do...) and the quality of these is as good as or better than anything else on the market!

Still believe they're too good to be true for $699/set bare or $899/set assembeled??

Just wait....




Clearanced for large diameter valve springs, our Stealth heads use factory offset rocker arms and stock diameter shafts, so no special high-dollar rockers are required. Heat crossover is blocked off for increased performance. Factory port windows, exhaust and intake manifold locations make sure you can use any "off the shelf" intake manifold and/or exhaust manifold/headers without any fitment hassles or special "spacers" required.



Large, freeflowing intake and exhaust ports look nicer "out of the box" than most port jobs you'll find done to factory heads. Intakes flow about 280-290 CFM as cast, with the potential to reach at least 330 CFM or more with porting. Compare that to 215-220 CFM from even the best factory production heads such as 906's or even 915's. Larger 2.14" and 1.81" valve sizes also come standard. Combustion chamber is a "closed chamber" design, with quench area built in, so the benefits of running "tight quench" can be realized. Chamber size "as cast" is about 84cc's.



All standard factory mounting locations for alternator, etc are in place.



Super thick deck surface ensures these heads have tons of meat in the deck to withstand high compression, nitrous, or to allow for plenty of milling. Use this feature to reduce the chamber size.. (great for getting high compression ratios AND great flame travel with a flat-top piston.) And, the straight (100% factory) spark plug location puts an end to hassles with header tubes fitting correctly.



Front view shows aluminum cylinder heads exactly as they should be. Throw 'em on your 440 Source stroker engine, paint 'em engine color and nobody but the most experienced car show judges will know your 500+ cubic inch, fire breathing, aluminum headed big block Mopar isn't 100% bone stock. Not only that, but now you can do it all WITHOUT breaking the bank!

WOW..!

I wonder how long it'll be before they start re-popping a 426 HEMI

[illfish]

Those are really nice castings.  The only thing I don't care for is the combustion chamber shape.  They could have done something more modern for a better burn and decreased shrouding.  For the money though, anyone who does iron is just wasting their money.

[flyboy01]

Are they available now!   

[abodyjoe]

not sure....

280-290 CFM as cast? I'm in.

i'm thinking of getting a set of them next spring instead of the eddy's, hope to hear some good feedback on them by then.

Yeah, same here..

[Hemi GTS]

They got an aluminum block coming also.

[Freight Dog]

To use iron heads today just does not pay. I'll have to research these heads for our 74 Duster. I like the Eddie heads for what we plan to do with it, but now we have a second option. I would like to see better chamber disign but they look workable.
Thanks for the info.

[1DART440]

Does anyone know if the exhaust stud threads go into the water jackets?

[chryco]

WOW !

[NYrr496]

Does anyone know if the exhaust stud threads go into the water jackets?

I doubt it.

[68_GSS]

Looks like a Max Wedge chamber. 

[flyboy01]

I am getting a set for sure.

[Ryan (Strange246)]

Man I know what heads are going on the 383 stroker motor for Tracy's Duster! Bolt em on, stroker crank, roller cam, low rise intake and say 10.5:1 Compression all painted "stock 383 blue" and BAMMM! Super sleeper! MOOOHHOOOHAHAHAHAHA!

  Cast iron bare reco $250, source aluminum heads bare $700 hmm now i have to put up with more horsepower and less weight.

[Stroked GT]

jesus i should have waited, i got some nice close chamber heads but these would have cost just a bit more and i know they will outflow me all day long. plus they will look stock when painted, real nice stuff brandon 

[keith9291]

Do you know if these are made in China?

[A13Dart]

Do you know if these are made in China?

For that price I think the answer is... Ah-So.

     But if they work well , who cares. It's a small world anymore......

Oh hell yeah!
