Edelbrock 440 RPMs
I received those heads last night and Id like to make a couple of comments.
First Ive learned my lesson, I will NEVER deal with cast iron heads again ( in any performance application ) cause they have the cost of these so low that its really a minimal cost above having the iron heads gone thru.
Second I cant get over the weight of these, without weighing and comparing Id say that one cast iron heads still weighs more than both of the aluminum heads combined. It really is amazing.
Third- dont deal with Indy cylinder head, customer service is rude,crude and although I believe in supporting small business every chance I get even if that means spending a few dollars more the whole transaction with dealing with them left me with a yearning to say Dont EVER DEAL WITH INDY CYLINDER HEAD. Its just easier, friendlier, better service at Summit ( cause I think Jegs sucks also )
Lastly, these heads are definitely not ready to go out of the box, you can see where casting has already been cleaned up on the intake side, they did a shitty half assed job, there is still a VERY noticeable step-up that I have to take care of, I know nothing about gasket matching other than what Ive read and I dont remember most of that, maybe this step-up will be cleaned up when I go to gasket match.
Ill have to read some more.
Im not foolish enough anymore I guess to think that I can perform a port job of any kind successfully without a flow bench or some experience but I will remove the valves and see if there is anything that just screams at me as far as flashing inside the head and post pictures.
Ill do that when I get the chance and am ready to do something with them.
