Warning: Oldsmobile talk
« on: January 31, 2008, 10:06:31 AM »
I just saw this and wondered what anyone thought about the offer.  I have talked to the guys at Mondello and they don't seem to keen on the Edelbrock offerings.  Thoughts anybody . . .

if you look at Mondellos website it looks as though the Edelbrock head was a joint venture. http://www.mondellotwister.com/edelhds.html. but then again there was a time my dad had a Mondello catalog where every part was worth x amount of horsepower.  Think we figures out with all the cool bolt ons we could add about 200 horses to his stocker. ;D

Those people in the ebay link look like they are producing more of a replacement, but it seems a bit pricey at 2400 unless your missing casting from a numbers car, still not the same i guess.

That looks like a set of casting plugs not the heads themselves.

You meen you dont thing they'll hold up to the heat? :D  I looked at it a couple of times too, but if you really read into it, it look like they'er trying to get pre-orders before they cast em.  They state "We stress that we do not want any money up front; the day we ship, will be the day we will bill you"

Once maybe, until the molten aluminum hits them.  LMAO!!!  I don't know that I would trust someone to cast me a set of heads that had to sell on eBay.   ;D ;D ;D

Ebay Afterthought:  but for every honest person on ebay, there are two dishonest, one dumbass(misinformation), and one that is selling way too cheap cause they dont know what they got.

IMO, I wouldn't pay that (even if I had it) for stock heads. For a person with a jet boat looking for better heads the original heads from the late 60's and early 70's are still out there and less expensively available. The only way I would even think about spending that is if I had a mint 442 or mint W-30 that needed them.

I thought it was very plain and simple but I will explain it for people like Jet Lover  >:D They haven't casted them yet.  The pic is showing the mold.  They had a nearly 100% rating on Ebay and I agree with Josh, it is cheap advertising.  They may be spendy but they claim to be a quality product 100% Made in USA.  I came across them from a link on realoldspower about building a 650 HP pump gas motor.  Some of you guys are too lazy to read the ad, geezus!

Sorry, I'm guilty but only because I was just interested in seeing what was being offered.  :-[  I do some casting as well but not on that level.  I also do some anodizing and CNC work.  Mine is for hobby and a few friends.

No worries GAW, I was just trying to jerk the chain of a certain newbie. I had just finished reading his posts before going back to the thread I started this morning.  What kinds of things have you cast?  Pics?

As long as they don't bring down the price of the pair of "F" heads I'm about to sell I don't mind.  If I were restoring an old Olds though it would suck to think you had authentic heads and later someone figures out how to tell the difference from the real ones.
