Default Anyone Using Edelbrock 61459 BBC Heads??

I want to use these heads on a 502 street driven car (this is a Mark IV Bowtie block):

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...D61459&FROM=MG

They are 110cc "marine" heads (anodized) with big valves. Summit says that the spark plug hole has been moved over .150 closer to the bore center. I can't imagine that would cause interference with the piston (9.8:1 JE @ 110cc).

Anyone using them?

They should work fine, the heads that come on the 505hp/502 crate engine are cast by Edelbrock as is the intake.
I have a set of the crate heads and they look just like the Edelbrock heads, the intake has a Edelbrock part# cast on the underside of it.
I have the intake for sale if you can use it, I bought a used 502 top end for my 496 I am building.

Mark, Thanks for the offer but I already have the top end for my engine. I'm surprised that no one on this forum has used these heads.
