unless you know someone, it will cost almost as much to get a good set of aluminum heads used, instead of porting and valve job for a set of iron heads that wont flow much... the edelbrock dosent need poeting, it has big ports.

I agree, save your money for a Trickflow Street Heat H/C/I combo kit... CNC machining or media porting are just too expensive for the gains on stock iron heads. jmo

you can just throw them on but youd get the best gain by matching the cam and intake's hp range to the heads you buy
