Does anyone have info on these heads? How would they work on a 318 with a .454 lift 218 Duration cam, headers, Performer intake, 600 carb and 3.23 gears in a 72 Dart?

These are junk heads.They are thin material casting and just about every cylinder will have cracks in them.You might find 3 sets out of 30 that are good,if you find a good set.If you have chiose,stay away from them,and install the 308 casting heads,mropartech

If you allready have them...

Just see if there a good to go head and if it's not allready equiped with 1.88 - 1.60 valves, go ahead and install them.
Otherwise, I would say YES, the'll work fine.

Like Mr says, they are prone to cracking, but I dont think the attrition rate is that high..(not at our shop anyways..) Have them magged to be sure, pressure testing may not find a crack. Fit them with 1.88/1.60s, mill them a little, and be sure to run the thinner MP head gaskets, and they will be fine.
