Oh yeah, these are nice! Here are the pics. I will flow them soon, but look great. So upon inspection here is what I found

Full CNC ported ports and chambers
Real valve seals
Spring seat locators, not just shims or cups
Nice valves with a Good valve job, and back-cut on intakes!
Nice PAC springs
Clean castings
Nice chambers, checked in at 78cc
Very thick intake runners, Can go MAX WEDGE!
Lots of pushrod clearance
Super nice machine work

Take a look!

Maybe, but it might not help make any more power, they look real good. I will have flow numbers soon.
 
I'm glad you like them! I just got a set myself! Any input about the minimum bore requirements? I plan to put thes on my 383.

they are not raised port but they are really thick in the ports and "could" be opened up to MW size
 
Younggun, we put stealth heads (2.14 1.81) valve on a stock bore 383 with .557 Mopar cam and the valves touched the bore.
You may have to notch the bore like they did on the max wedge motors. Maybe someone else will chime in
 
MRL thanks for the pics and look forward to the flow numbers. Wish i had the money and my big block dart. I would like to of seen how they would compare to my very mild bowl ported Indy EZ heads?

WIth the size of the intake valve and the size of the chamber you need a 4.320"+ to make it work. I don't think it will fit the small 4.250" 383 bore without issues.

So you mean to say that someone is actually offering an aluminum head that the first mod is not throwin the springs in the garbage?
