Can you expand (expound) on that at all?
I'm sure much has been written regarding flow, chamber size, open vs closed chamber, port design, valve sizes, response(s) to basic porting, valve or spark shrouding, etc...but for us new guys maybe you could tell us why you think one is as good as the other and if there are some differences to be aware of. Knowledge is power...
That'd be like, totally cool.
Thanks,
JY

the D3VE heads are basically the same as your D9TE heads. The D3 heads were used up until 79-80, Ideally you should try to find a set of C8VE C9VE or D0VE heads.
The D0OE heads are the cobra jet heads. D2OE and the D3AE heads are the Police Interceptor heads similar to Cobra Jet.
Avoid the D2VE heads they had the largest combustion chamber and were fully open with no quench area and tend to detonate.
Hope this helps.
