D2TEAA heads

Are these heads worth rebuilding or should I just save up to get Edelbrocks. Money is tight but I don't want to rebuild factory heads just to save a buck.

If you rebuild the heads to factory type specs, it will cost about $400, to rebuild them similar to the EBrocks, $700-$800 and of course they are still iron heads.

How much performance do you want to spend...

I want alot of power. I was just wondering if these heads were worth keeping. I have another 390 with crappy stock heads and was hoping one set would be worth holding onto. I guess I will have to put an ad in the classified here.

d2te are good factory heads and have hardened valve seats. I can't justify the money for edelbrock.

Well I guess that all depends on how much you get tied up into Iron heads where your limited by about 1.0 in CR to run on pump gas..

i know everyone seems to like them but i have a truck that i bought for $1300 and i am going to college so $1270 for edel heads isn't what i am interested in at the time being.

Oh I can understand that..there not for eveyone's pocket..Hell im 50..It took me 4 mos. to save to get a set without taking money away from the house hold..

Education is more important anyway..Ya always have time for building..it just takes time and money!
