both of these guys had valve guide issues, the guides were "oblonged" and the valves would not seat, important to note in both of these cars the heads had not been touched, makes me weary of how well they will hold up if you start to remove material. these were first generation heads, so maybe they have dealt with the problems, but it is the lack of warranty that makes me avoid edelbrock. from all i have heard these heads are intended for the street only. for what its worth, i ran them on one of my engines, that would race about once a month, and then street every weekend, and they worked well for me, as you stated, if not doing the port work yourself, the price of the eddy's is hard to beat. the only advice i would offer anyone is "know what you want the engine to do, before you build it", another gentlman stated the difference in price/quality of paint jobs, the same is true of engine building. tom 65 satellite --- Don Dulmage <big-d@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Tom > I had not heard of problems .
