Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

There’s cheap then there’s on a budget and I get so tired of hearing how expensive Mopars are. To many 11 second or slower spend money stupidity on things their engines don’t need. It’s only because guys are lazy or maybe afraid of Facebook. I pass up deal’s daily or pass them on to others. I just found what is supposed to be an untouched Victor340 for 250.00 that I am passing on to one of our members. I also posted that I need a set of 340 main caps for him for an engine I have. No luck on that yet but I tried because I can reach out to 1000’s of people for him.

I agree deals to be had if you know what you are looking for but in my experience I've had to cough up the funds if its something I specifically want sometimes it can't be avoided. Always looking for deals should be the norm though I think... also knowing the value of things etc. I wouldn't say I wouldn't run Speed master heads etc. I just haven't gotten there yet where I am running aluminum heads or need to I'm not racing. I'm restoring street cars. If I had absolutely no heads and a shorth block, yes i would consider them or Edelbrocks etc. I do like the Mopar aluminum offerings but realize they are used parts now . For what its worth I always appreciate your input PBR.
