Subject: NO OFFENSE MEANT !

MARK NO OFFENSE MEANT OR INTENDED ! I always get my panties in a wad when I am told or read of prices without a explanation of the product/labor offered. Especially when quoting a price or giving information. The truth is, most guys for whatever reason think a head that flows 340/360 is too small for them...LOL In actuality a engine that "needs" a head that flows that much would probably have a hard time running on the street. {my case exactly} I have learned my lesson more than once that the old saying " bigger is always better" has NOTHING to do with performance, reliability, and more to do with ego, and being incorrectly informed. {not that you did either} The points I was trying to make is BRODIX is a well known and respected mfgr. They designed and made these heads. They list them at the specs I had listed. Other than opinions they make an good quality product. Like all others DART, MERLIN, EDELBROCK, and even the 3rd world countries that seems to be offering thier junk we all have our preferences. You truely get what you pay for. Everything doesn't work well on a particular item just because it bolts on. BTW I did have the heads flowed as well as the combustion chambers CC'd once I recieved them. I wanted to make sure the chambers were still @ 119 after the CNC work was done. Its all right on the money @ Brodix's specs.
As far as my engine guy, well he is 70 yrs. old, his main stream of business has been Hi Perf engines for a lil over 40 yrs. He should {and does} know what he is doing. What other idiot would or could build a SBC engine, put it in a 4240 lb. truck, make sure the a/c, cruise, radio, full exhaust, etc still functions as OEM intended {no cat converters} and makes it go 8.80's on a regular basis....LOL Anyway I surely meant no offense. I do NOT know what parts you were pricing nor do I know what your labor is. I shudda just let it go, but it sounded to me like you were telling the guy the heads would cost too much to assemble. I guess after 40 yrs. with the same guy, I get treated a lil better than some. GREAT SITE and I hope it continues to be a source of info and parts !!!!
