Need new cyl Heads!
turns out my 041X heads arent as good as I thought..
I have one screw in stud on the pass side head, and of course, who ever put it in, tapped it crooked. So no matter what I do, the stud is off center. causing the rocker arm to jolt to the side.
So.. I need some opinions on heads. What's the best bang for the buck. I'm going to heli coil this one stud for now, and over winter, throw new heads on, with roller rockers and guides.
so.. I'm gunna need some input on this.
Afr's?
trick flows?
World?? whatcha think?

Heres a link to where you can get them, and the site for the manufacturer, it seems like i might have been mistaken when i said pro 1 topline heads, because the pro 1 topline heads are made by a seperate company that make racing heads, you can check them out here

They are all good deals overall. The market is pretty competitive. I wanted cast iron so I went with Dart Iron Eagles. They were the best bang for the buck in my opinion. Had a few small issues but I would buy them again. I considered World Products too but they have cheapo cast iron for valve guides and we know how long that will last. The Dart heads have much better guide material for about the same cabbage. I think I paid $750 to my door assembled. Had to clean up some machining marks here and there and the temp sender hole needed to be enlarged but otherwise it was a picnic.
