Has anyone seen or herd anything about these? Here's the link to the ebay auction, doesnt sound to bad for the price, i just wonder what kind of quality these things have.

i read about them i have not known any one who has them but i belive they are knock offs of edle brock cylynder heads performer and rpm as well as the victors id, say it would probably be simmilar to typoon intakes where the tooling was purchased form edlebrock, IMO i dont see how they would differ i dont see how you could mess up pouring aluminumn into a cast. the ports may not be as cut as clean as edlebrock.... that is what i hear about the typhoon's, but i know plenty of head shops that will do a mild port for around 100$ i was thinking abvout trying them on my next engine i have afrs now.

I think that the intake ports are raised pretty high on those, make sure your intake is gonna match the intake ports on the heads...

those heads will match up too a trick flow street heat or trick flow r series manifold.. built an engine with those heads on a 331 with a trick flow street heat manifold.. that car has since gotten a 347 with those heads and a parker funnel feb and a carb.. those heads flow quite well.. and yes they are a knock off of a edelbrock victor jr head

There have been quite a few people who had purchased them when they showed up on our shores.

Most spent twice what they figured on just to get them "decent". Everything from porousity problems to incorrectly located push rod holes and header bolt locations.

Buyer beware!

Most deals that look to good to be true, are usually just that.
