Looks like I have no choice but to go AFR now

[Great68]

The Edebrock Performer RPM heads which I ordered should have come in today, however when I called the parts store they found out that there was a major problem and absolutely NO ONE they get stock from has any in stock.

And they said if I was lucky, I would have to wait until mid june to get them.

But on the bright side, they did happen to have a set of AFR 165 1.90" valve 61cc heads in stock, so I got those. I hope the increase in performance is worth the $500 increase in price.

how in the hell were the afr's $500 more then the performers

 

[brianj5600]

$500 Canadian I hope.

$500 Canadian I hope.

Correct.

The Edelbrocks came to $1350 cdn and the AFR's will come to $1790 cdn Plus 14.5% governmental gratuity of course.

The RPMs have 2.02 and 1.60 valve sizes right?

I ordered the 1.90", 1.60" because I don't think the 2.02's will work with my pistons. I REALLY don't want to rebuild the bottom end of the motor right now.

I would be happier with the AFRs if it was me.
Good move.
The last set of RPMs I ordered were cut like crap. They were seating all the way on the tips of the faces right next to the margins, with a straight cut seat. Had to correct that prior to install.
