Really? "Quality" is not the first thing most people think of when Italian cars are mentioned!
Just scroll the website a bit..."STEVEN" sounds very Chinese-ish to me.
They are cast a lot nicer than edelbrock heads. I had a set of each, still have the edelbrocks. The nice ports are the Aeroflow (Steven) head and the uglier port is edelbrock. The only bad thing about the Steven Head is that none of the threads had helicoils but the edelbrock did.

I put inserts in all the exhaust of my j heads when I was machining.Lack of Heli-Coils is not a deficiency in my opinion, as long as the threaded hole has proper thread engagement length and the tap tolerance was chosen properly. Heli-coils are to repair the hole after it has been damaged to save the part. I can't tell you how many heli-coils I've seen fail or unwind out of the hole with the bolt. I'd much rather see a steel insert like Threadsert.
