    For BT heads try Barry R at www.survivalmotorsports.com Tell him G sent ya. Barrys FE knowledge and skills are second to none. With 2 years running a FE entry in the EMC (Engine masters challenge) and countless years of experience. He ran BT heads both years. If anyone can give you a very honest opinion he can. Dove castings are much better than they were. I'm looking at a set of Dove HR's right now and close to pulling the trigger. High riser and tunnel port were the serious HP heads from the day and still hold some wind today. Comparing Dove and BT to each other is difficult as they each have there own points and differneces. Doves are cast based on the original Ford molds and tweaked in a few variations. BT castings a whole new deal with those Glidden (peanut shaped) chambers. They ain't cheap... but shooting for 800hp I'm sure your aware of that. Shelby heads have had porisity issues also. Remember they are also MR head castings and with some work a good choice. Dove and BT have much more to offer. And last the Edel's are the old stand by. With some CNC porting by Keith Craft they have some impressive numbers in the stage 3 selection. All good stuff....
