Post by: Luckie Stiff on May 29, 2008, 04:34:35 PM: 75cc heads with 260-270cc intake runners
Valve sizes are 2.09" intake and 1 65" exhaust.
fresh from the machine shop
fresh valve job
replaced guides as needed
3/8 rocker studs
double crane springs good to .600
retainers and 7 deg locks
also took a skim coat of the face for nice deck
all assembled and ready to go
They will give about 10.5 to 1 on pre '72 blocks. This assuming factory type pistons
i ended up buying a set of ported and polished heads so i dont need these
steal them from me for $400 obo

Uh, that's a joke, right?

The ProCrap aluminum head is the last alloy head on earth that I would use...IF I would use them. You can make as much Hp with a factory iron D3VE head. In fact, the ProCrap essentially uses a D3VE chamber and intake port....but the seat/bowl area on the ProCrap are so unfinished (as delivered) it's ridiculous. You will need to spend so much money setting those heads up that you will come out way far behind....unless you are a machine shop owner and get all your machining for free and parts for cheap.

Save your money unless money is no object...and if you don't want any big horsepower. Not trying to sell heads by posting this; rather, I am trying to save some fellow Ford jet boaters some serious heartache.
