You can get aluminum heads for $550? Has anybody risked it and got these?

Nothing special about them. Dont be fooled, they are not as comparable to AFR and Trickflow as stated in the description. You will need to use cylinder head bushings though since 302's are 7/16

God no! I wouldn't expect anything special. I was thinking I could get a nice port/polish on them and have a nice set of heads for $800 or so. I'm just worried that they are garbage. I leaning toward the twisted wedge heads....$1200 and I KNOW they are legit.

Trick flow or Edelbrocks are much better.
I've heard too many horror storys about poor casting quality on the ***** made stuff......

The valve train in trickflow's head may not be top notch, but they are still decent and can handle a handful of ots cams
