Are these heads any good?

FORD RACING “SPORTSMAN” SHORT TRACK CAST IRON CYLINDER HEADS
M-6049-N351*
I have a chance to pick up a bare set for 375 OBO brand new?
That's 375 OBO CANADIAN.
what do you guys think.
Would i have to use the specified parts they say t use, or can i get some different valve and stuff?
Thanks, Nik

RE: Are these heads any good?
I was looking on ebay and they are going for 899.99 USA and 427 to ship to me. This is a bre head price also, so i guess the 375 OBO CAD is a good price. But are the heads good flowing heads? Anyone have any flow chart for them?
Thanks, Nik

RE: Are these heads any good?
you'll need these rocker arms
see the offset pushrod cup? cant use regular rockers. they would be screamers though - but yeah you'll need 2.02 1.60 valves, and springs/retainers/keepers/seals, and you'll need to know what length valves those heads take (should be able to find out via research @ fordracing.com)
i say grab em up

FYI just look at the total cost on these, the rockers are like 350 by themselves. dont get me wrong, they would be great heads, but your not getting off cheap like you thought just cause you got a deal on the actual heads
