What do you guys think about these heads? I am limited in my options of 95cc heads.  I can get them for a little over 1k each with no tax and no shipping charges.  I have done some reading and research now I want to hear from the big boys.  Let me hear it!!!  Thanks!

I have a set of those heads on my motor.  Had Paul go through them because I bought them used. Changed the spring to match my cam, good valve job and cleaned up the ports.. I had a set of tfs street heads but I had to run race gas.. so I switched to these to drop the compression ratio for pump gas..I have no complaints with the edelbrock heads, all the finish work is good with the heads..my motor is a 501 with flat tops Victor manifold, 1150 dominator carb.. spins an A impeller 5800 with a deep loader..

Ralph, thanks for the info. That will be similar to my set up and good to know that you did well with them.

Fullfam, little tweaking for marine friendly?

I enlarged the valve guides to give a little more clearance and changed to better seals. Not 100% necessary but I like the insurance

Stupid question, clearance from what?  Just to be horrifically clear.  Thanks!

From valve to valve guide. If it is too tight you could have a valve stick open
