    What do you think about these cylinder heads?

     



    I found these on Ebay. PROCOMP SBC CHEVY 190CC COMPLETE ALUMINUM HEADS 64CC. They are $625.00 Complete with valves/springs and guide plates. They would be going on a flat top piston 350 in a roadster. Not a daily driver. What do yall think??

    I think you get what you pay for, cylinder heads are no exception.,...... Probably be fine for street use, I guess....

    As with all the Pro Comp castings, they are from a Chinese foundry...hard telling who's head they copied... I have seen some problems with the porosity of the Chinese castings, along with some poor fit of the ports, etc. I guess it's a matter of how lucky you feel, maybe you get a good set, maybe you don't... I doubt there is very little, if any quality control on the castings themselves....so do the parts inside make up for that???? Don't know, that's your decision. If price is the only consideration on your choice of aluminum heads, they'll probably be fine.... Think I'll stick with the US made castings, myself....

    Spend a couple hundred more and get something you can trust and from a reputable dealer.
