Procomp Aluminum Heads
Has anyone used or can recommend these heads?
http://www.procompelectronics.com/in...oduct_id=37589 Flow numbers look good and the price is pretty sharp. In this game you usually get what you pay for but some times a bargain is found...

They ARE NOT the same casting as a TFS street period!!! Remember I am a dealer and I have worked with these heads so this is an informed opinion...

To me they look as though they loosely mock the A429 combustion chamber, and exhaust they tried to copy the E head but ended up with a d port at the flange and a d3 head short/long turn.... thats just basing it on pictures.

If your looking for a bargain, look through the auction block and take a look at this link to the auction block.
http://www.460ford.com/forum/showthread.php?t=132257 P.S. I bought a Procomp distributor and valve covers. The valve cover casting was poor in quality, it was extremely thin in several areas and the mounting flange was uneven. The distributor worked well, its electonic pickup last longer than the Msd pickup I used.
