I have pretty much decided that I want to buy these heads. Where can I get these for the best price? Thanks

Here's what you need to be careful of - whether the people you buy them from actually have them in stock. A lot of folks shop the price, and get a deal from someone that doesn't actually have the heads. And then you're waiting an indeterminate amount of time for heads to actually show up.

Ed Curtis at FTI keeps them in stock.

I hate that crap, drop-ship companies. Once they get your money, they just take thier sweet time delivering. I think next time I buy heads I'll buy from FTI not only because they are always in stock, but the knowlegable help if needed.

Yeah I got mine from Ed Curtis...he told me he was going to work on them (my combo) on a particular weekend and I got a UPS shipping notice that following Monday and had them at the end of the week...from Rhode Island to Arkansas...

64lbs shipping weight for the AFR's...the stock heads were heavy...probably closer to 100lbs total...

What didn't you like about these? I bought a pair to use on my '93 5.0L EFI (in a 1967 Cougar). I bought AFR 165's, then had Gromm Racing Heads in San Jose finish them off with ARP, and other mods.

See his sig - he's building a 351; probably nothing he didn't like about the 165's - just wants more head for the bigger motor? Guessing...
