Great find, suggest not to spend that much money on them though, by the time you add up all the costs to upgrade pedestal to studs, guide plates, new valves, port work, etc....... you'll know what I mean. The GT40p shown below is one of a set I have for a customer.... total cost when finished?... you don't want to know.



They'll work great on a 302, but not on a 331/347..... or better worded, there are better options to ensure engine "breathability" at a similar cost.
