Default Overseas cylinder heads

I called Wheeler Power Products out of Jacksonville Fla. They have some cool motors for sale. However, they use "overseas" bare aluminum cylinder heads and they build the heads for each application. I am a Dart Pro 1 fan myself, so Their rep stated he would put on the Darts if I wanted them. The engine is a 450hp w/ 475tq. Do you guys think I should spend the extra cash for the Darts or use their heads? Al

Absolutely !
I am waiting on the brown truck as I am typing. On that truck is a brand new set of AFR 195 Eliminator heads.
I am removing a junk set of Pro Comp aluminum heads that I bought off of Skip Wh _te. off of Ebay.
I can't wait to finally have a great set of heads that didn't come from China

There is a lot of write ups on those chinese heads like pro comp, and none of it is good. do a googol search on pro comp. Then put on Dart, World, or Edelbrock... imho
