Aluminum cylinder heads

Dan the man said
Are there any aluminium heads made in the USA? I like what I've read about promaxx heads but they are made in China. I can't justify putting a lot of money into rebuilding stock heads and then the aftermarket ones can be expensive. Is it possible to get a set for around $1,400. I don't need the best, but I don't want junk either. Am I limited to Chinese cylinder heads? If so which ones would be the best bang for the buck?

YES! Edelbrock heads are cast and machined here in California! I know for sure because I visited their manufacturing plant before I signed up as a dealer with them. Edelbrock is now a part of Com/

I just wanted to be able to explore my options for when I freshen up the 318. Magnum heads require a expensive magnum only intake and the 302 heads are usually cracked, so I'm trying to find out what I can / should do, I'll probably wind up rebuilding the factory heads.

ave bee wanting to buy "cheap" head for your 318. From what I have seen and witnessed aluminum heads do not make more power on stock engines. If I were you, I would do a clean-up of the ports and have a good valve job done by a race shop. You will be surprised. While you are working the heads see about a little more compression and perhaps a small cam that matches your torque converter (B&M)
