They are the Performer RPM heads with the 1.90/1.60 valve package for stock pistons. I was looking at getting a set for my 306/novi 1000 combo and was wondering if anyone is using these and how they like them. I'm also wondering if they will come with all the accessory holes drilled so they can be a bolt on affair?

thanks,

Matt

I have them for my Vortech blown 306. They work well. Accessory holes are there. The only thing is they have no provision for the smog pump and I don't believe they have EGR passage either.

yea they are bolt on, they are awesome on my car N/A w/ your blower would be outrageous - you will need the felpro gaskets that they are machined for, and i'd get hardened pushrods (stock length) if you don't already have them - and 1.6 or 1.7 RR's also if you don't have them, but make sure they'll clear ur valve covers (or VC baffles anyway) - you'll like them -

they make a set of performer heads that do the same thing, but have the smog legal action!

Ok thanks for the info. I found an ebay store that sells the complete assembled heads with a free set of Felpro 1011-2 head gaskets for $1,000.00, so I might go ahead and pick up a set this week.

later,

Matt

I'm a big fan of those heads..only 700 miles on them, but I am really pleased with what they can do.

I just got mine also, can't wait to put them on!!I've heard nothing but good things from people using these heads. Don't forget the head bolt bushings.According to Edelbrock,you will need them in order to bolt them on to a 302!!

Dude, get Twisted Wedges instead. They make more power, are smog legal, and cost about the same as Edelbrocks
