Default Ford Performer RPM Heads

What do you guys think about these heads there about $529 each and they have 2.02'' Intake Valves, 60cc, im building a low budget 347 I have some gt40p's stock but I really dont wanna install them on here cause its gonna be such a loss of HP I rather do it right the first time but im also on a small budget and these are the right price about 1,100 for the pair, and I would like some nice RR's to go with them gimme some feedback.

Default yep

Those heads will suit your combination well. But if you're going to spend $1,100 on alum. heads...spend $1,200 and get some AFR 185s. They'll out perform the Edelbrocks for sure.

Or for $1000 you can get a set of tf twisted wedge.

Well the pistons I have won't match up with the twisted wedge heads, the pistons have to be notched.

Cool

If you read MM&FF they just did a massive head comparison. The conclusion was that ALL the heads are good. Yes AFR did the very best, but in the real world, no one ever fully sqesses every last HP from their set up. .And the no more than 10hp diff from the best head to the other few will not matter. If you like the Edlebrocks buy them they are top quality stuff. I run a set my self.
