Those heads have side cant on the valves like a cleveland. Requires a special piston I would guess, maybe special rocker arms. Kaase is considered pretty good. The question is, do they perform better than other "conventional" heads like the TFS R and the AFR 225?

Those heads do look real cool They do require Jesel shaft rocker arms, and custom pistons I'm sure. They also require Kaase's special valvecovers, as his flange is unique. Sounds like a PITA package as a whole, but still... ------------------ 1965 GT coupe, 333ci aluminum headed/solid cammed stroker, four speed, 3.70:1 9" All Blue Oval, no blue bottle http://mustangsandmore.50megs.com/V8Thumper.html

They do not require shaft rockers or custom pistons. If one of the tests I read they had bolted a set on a stock block 302.

Thanks for the welcome. I've been hanging around watching for awhile and figured it was time to jump in. Lots of good stuff here.

The thread about the new alum. Cleveland heads reminded me about these, just curious if anyone has any new info about them if theyre taking off or if theyre junk.?
