RE: Edelbrock Top End Kit
This is what I bought. Everything is awesome except the cam. Buy it from jegs, they will price match it. When it all comes in, send JUST the cam and lifters back, and request swapping it for a comp XE284H. It will cost you about $20 more plus shipping, but it is a much better cam and you will like it a lot more. Plus, it matches very well to the intake and heads, so everything will work together efficiently. But honestly, send back the eddy and get a nice comp roller cam, especially if your block is already a roller. It is a far superior design and they do not wipe lobes like flat tappet cams often do. (I had 2 go bad).

RE: Edelbrock Top End Kit
um lester, my stuff is pretty much just a kit, in a scence. a kit has everything you need, right?
the stuff im not selling like head bolts and gaskets, ill tell you which ones you need.
and if you think a "pre put together kit that looks great, but really isnt that wonderful" is going to just bolt up and just be a fine a dandy, forget it. high performance is gonna have snags and what not, "adjustments" are the norm.
btw, those heads in that "kit" are smaller than mine, and i have everything in that kit for sale, for guess what, EFI and guess what, cheaper! wow lol <-ok i did sound rather rude here, o well.
700 miles on roller parts is nothing.

RE: Edelbrock Top End Kit
If your heads are RPMs the only difference could be the valve size, but if he has stock pistons he would need the 1.90 valves instead of the 2.02s. Besides, you aren't going to notice any real difference in power output between the heads (1.90s vs. 2.02s).
