It is a widely accepted fact that the Holley systemax Intake manifold is the only thing worth having out of the systemax kit.

well. today I ported the heads, I will just learn the hard way. It's all going on the 342, sept the cam, should be running real soon.

The heads were known for quick wear of the valve guides. If the heads have been redone professionally, they may be worth having "for cheap". The intake is a good one - but the front runners could use some work - take a look and you'll see what I mean. The upper runner wall also has a "unique" feature where it meets the lower.

I did notice that in the intake and will address it. The heads were just done. I have the cam in my 342, indexed and complete. I actually bought a whole car. A Black sun roof 89 LX, never stripped or lightened. 12.6 @ 106, motor and 11.60 @ 116 on a 100shot. Holly systemax, 65TB, 30lbs, big mass air, pullys, FPR, K&N, headers, flowmasters, h pipe, A9L computer and chip, Tremac 3550, 373s, NOS, cowl hood, elec windows, CD player, msd coil, wires, and cap and rotor, 10 holes, not good tires. And what ever I have over looked. The car is not a cherry, but OK. I will put a bone stock motor in it and give it to my son (who wanted a mini cooper) in june for his B-day. He allready wants to start working on it. I payed $1800.00 for it. With a torn up rod bearing in the bottom end.

Nice, wish I got a 5.0 for my first car. I got stuck with a 86 Dodge Charger.
