Aussie Heads?
Has anyone used these Aussie heads on their small block? The reason I ask is I read they are excellent SB heads and I have a chance to get a set. The guy is asking 2 grand but he will negotiate. I'm running a 69-70 351W 4V with stock heads. They look new?
Is there anything special that I need to know or steer clear of?

They're nowhere near as good as most aftermarket heads and are really only worth anything when professionally ported. Even then they wouldn't flow as much as Dart Iron Eagles would right out of the box, which you can get for about $1200-1400 a set brand new.

Thanks Paul,
Just to pick your brain, there a set of GT40P heads,pushrods,and twisted manifolds for sale on Craigslist up here for $150 bucks. They are off of a 98 Mountaineer. I don't have a roller ready block will these work?

What are the twisted manifolds? Exhaust manifolds? In any event the heads will bolt on after the bolt holes are drilled out to 1/2". The pushrods are no good to you but exhaust manifolds may be, and the heads alone are a steal at $150 if they don't have a lot of miles on them.

I don't know what he meant by twisted manifold either, thought it might be some new ford exotic design that I never heard of. Yea I know I will have to drilled them. I gotta big drill press!

I went back to craigslist to get the pictures and the add was pulled. I guess it's a mute point now. Thanks for the help though.
