Pushrods may be cheap. A new head/cam/valvetrain may be expensive. But the fact of the matter remains that these heads are not going to be used on my car. If someone wants to buy them, buy pushrods (correct length), and throw safety by the wayside - that is why I am selling them.

I'm looking at a 90% track & 10% street car. I'm looking to be efficient, consistent, and fast. I'm not looking to make band-aids in my setup, to just be able to say "I did it" with a certain head that happened to be on my car at the time.

Let us not forget that the valvetrain lineage is not, and has not been, the only problem I've had with or from these heads:

Intake Seating:



Valvetrain Lineage (supposedly can be fixed w/the "correct" pushrods):



And let's not forget - Header Fitment, Valve Cover Fitment, and Spark Plug Fitment as well.......

I've had enough headaches with poor ole Frankie; and I'm ready to be finished with that and start having fun. Many of the "issues" and headaches point back to these heads. And the fact that they are not a PREMIUM choice, a QUALITY piece. "You get what you pay for" goes a long way IMO when you are talking about clearancing issues, and so on...

It's my car, my choice. Heads are being SOLD. An entire new setup will be purchased, and installed. This way - if anything fucks up - it was MY CHOICE, and I have no one to blame other than myself. If it screams like a raped ape, and runs solid in the 6.50 class at Sunshine - then I can pat myself on the back, and enjoy peace of mind knowing that I did the right thing, and my car will be more efficient all the while........

So... Heads/Cam/Valvetrain F/S!
