I have a set of those that I won at a race. I have been monkeying around with them for weeks. They seem to be decent heads for the price. They have some issues, like raised intake and exhaust ports, 3 angle valve job, and only a small exhaust bolt pattern. At least spark plug location shouldn't be a problem like the Pro Toplines. Here's my thread on them.http://www.fordmuscle.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=36320&forum=1&20 ------------------

Thanks for the two threads, very good info. If I use these heads, it will be on a 69 351 block, and and a Victor jr. intake. Does there appear to be a quality control situation with the way the ports are made, or is it simply the design??

Based on the data, I assume that it is a designated design. Raised ports are a recognized performance enhancement for SBF heads.
I would still buy Edelbrocks if it were me.------------------

If you want something that matches the Ford arcitecture and requires very little planning and homework, go with Edelbrock as Alex mentioned, you can't go wrong.------------------

Moneymaker: In some past posts (maybe a year ago) You seemed to mention that you had experience with Victor Jrs. and Canfields. Apples to Apples, what would you pick for a bracket car YOU owned?

Thanks to all for the info, and Alex for the pointed question. I hate this, I ALMOST wish there weren't this many choices. Almost. I finally have two sets of C9 heads, but Im 15 years too late!
