I have a sale pending on a set of Patriot Freedom heads, they are new, the guy says he purchased them, bolted them on the engine, then went with a set of broadax heads. he wants 500 OBO for them, are these heads worth it? they would go on my 86k mile L48 with small .454 lift cam. thanks for any tips.
