WIW X-Heads

Wil, they are probably worth the asking price. Considering what you may have to spend to get them ready to run will get you close to the RHS head price. If it was me, I would put a little more into it and get the RHS heads. Guide and seat work ads up quickly. They will need hardened exhaust seats at a minimum and probably need guide work. I am sure you won't want to run 40 year old valves. Plus springs, locks retainers, seals, blah blah blah. Honestly, there's nothing at all special about the X heads. They are essentially the same head as any other small block open chamber head with the exception that they have 2.02 valves. I would seriously consider RHS if you want iron or spend more for the Edelbrocks.
