well they do .but i need some thing low so i may make one trying to go low buck . profiler makes one. but with that intake i will not get the hood to close so ?the heads need some work but have every thing use for them titanium valves and inconel ex off set roller lifters springs cups titanium retainers. jesels rocker arms but have to buy the the rocker arms mounting stands and a set of pistons to off set the cost i am thinking of selling my old heads on my car so i can work on my car and still pay the bills

sounds like a great set of heads, What CI motor are they going on? i see 632 in your sig.

yes it one of them 396 tall decks well the engine in my gto is a bit bigger then 632 well them heads need a bit of work they are 420 cc intake runners and flow ok .i think they will work i have a cam that i have work on for this engine .if i put them on i will go back to 13to1 cr i do not drive the car much and run race gas in it any way so 1000hp and 800qt or so will get the job done i may not use the heads . a lot of this stuff was for a customer and he back out on the deal so i was thinking of putting them on my car , i need to keep the stock gto hood i like it. and i do not like glass hoods so i not sure if i cut the front cross out i may get 1 inch that will not help and the are cleaner is working on the inside of the hood and the oil pan is on the front cross that is cut and box for the oil pan . i do not need any more power just want to see if i can do it

And dont' forget my 049 heads after Christmas

Good looking set of heads Pat..... They should be just about as economical as the Super Cobra Jet heads I have out in the garage!!!! Only time that engine got any kind of decent fuel mileage going down the highway was when the car was in the trailer!!!!!!

a guy i know built a 565 CI, with 13.0-1 dart big chief heads and a big solid roller. 1065 HP single dominator. nice bracket motor.
