Jegs aluminum heads
Has anyone used the Jegs brand aluminum heads? they say 220cc intake runners, offset intake rockers, 64cc combustion chambers, 2.1" intake valves and 1.6" exhaust valves.
They sell for $689.99 assembled and $479.99 bare.
that seems extremely cheap for Aluminum heads, and they're ever 220cc runners. Anyone use these? I have an 87+ roller block, so I figure I'd have to get the bare heads, and redrill the head bolts to line up with the holes on my block. Just wondering if these are good/bad or useless. Thanks.

According to the specs in Jegs, I think they would be awesome on a bigger cube engine. I think the fact they require so many "offset" parts puts them out for me. If I was building a 406 or larger, I would look closer at them. The price seems right too.

I was planning on making a 383 with forced induction, so, these heads look right up my alley. I was just wondering if anyone had these so I would know what all is involved with putting them on, I know the offset roller rockers. and I would need to redrill the middle holes. anything else I would have to consider before being able to bolt these heads on? They look awesome for the price. Thanks.

unless I read it wrong
220cc head wow, that is huge, that wouldn't work well on most 350s.

ah ha! that's what I didn't see :-p I didn't see those 2 oh-so-important letters (ea.). Thanks for pointing that out. Still, not that bad of a price for 220cc aluminum heads...I'm just wondering how good they are because they're a "generic" brand.
