I answered this question for someone else on another forum just a few days ago. Check out this persons feedback. Go to page 6-7 and 13-14. He has a ton of feedback all from the same person (a woman apparently) all for timing cover bolts for a 454.

It honestly looks like he was padding his stats to raise his percentage after some negative replies about his shady business practices.

When I looked into this and checked out the person who left the feedback, a few dozen replies all for .99 cent bolts, I saw that her only feedback was from the seller of these heads. I suspect it is his wifes account.

Either way, I would bet money these are just pro comp heads and he slapped it together with cheap valvetrain parts.

You'll probably drop a valve within a couple hundred miles. Probably within 50 if you drive it hard.

" If you are looking for a race grade head that is comparable to Edelbrock, Dart, Trick Flow and AFR at a fraction of the price look no farther then these"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this guy is a joke...you have to be kidding me, comparable?? in what way?? not quality wise obviously, pure crap valvetrain components, take your own risk, I'd assume buy a set og cast iron gt-40 heads no matter how cheap they are

I noticed that they were bid to $212. I'm wondering what it takes to buy them.
$800? $1000?
He does not state a 'buy it now' price.
I'd be more than a little afraid of them.......
