Good budget heads
I bought these for a 350 I built for a '70 K10. I wanted to stay within a set budget, and use a little more modern cylinder head for my application. As an Engine Machinist and an Assembler, I am very picky, have high standards. I debated for a couple weeks between these heads, and a couple other competitors. Needless to say, I decided on these based on price point, and I wanted a runner close to 180cc for port velocity for what I am doing with my pickup. When I received these heads, I was very pleased with the machine work, everything was assembled properly, the heads looked great. I went over them with a fine toothed comb, no dings, scratches on the decks or gasket surfaces, springs seated properly, retainers and keepers seated. I disassembled them anyways just to double check the guides, valves, ect. Everything was right on the money. And, to my surprise, not a SINGLE piece of metal shaving from machining! I have assembled engines with AFR, Brodix, that had to be completely tore down because they were FULL of shavings. These were CLEAN. I put these heads back together, and bolted them on. These are truely thee first heads I have ever seen that were literally bolt on and go, BUT, You should ALWAYS inspect and checkout all your parts. I am very happy with these heads. My only dissapointment is that there was zero paperwork with these heads, no specs, recommended parts/pieces, notes, nothing.
