Not exactly, you can order the hyd roller and they should be about right for a moderate Solid Flat Tappet cam.

I was looking at the bare heads as they seem to be a good price. I did a little internet searching and as usual, mixed comments, but what I would do if you buy the heads complete is to take the heads to a machine shop and let them disassemble, clean, check valves/valve seats, and spring pressures.

Not a bad deal complete, but buying them bare would allow you to build them the way you wanted and matched for your engine specs. I don't know if this may actually wind up costing you more, but you would know what you have - just my opinion.

Has anyone ever flowed these heads and do they flow comparable to out of the box, unported E-heads?

I got a set last year, they were spot on out of the box, 72cc, and flowed what was stated and what Randy Repp had posted as well.

With a very light clean up they flowed 300CFM. Castings look really good. Waiting on pistons to go on a 428 street engine so no results yet.

So does that mean a pair of bare heads is only $478.50?
Seems pretty cheap!
I would buy them bare and then use good parts.

Edit, bare heads are sold individually. . .

bluegoat65 11-30-2020 04:48 PM

Does anyone know how their oil drain back holes are located?

blueghoast 11-30-2020 04:52 PM

I bought a set a few minutes ago and I bought a set a while ago.
I won't buy another set of eddy's again the speed master is a better head
All the way around. Good parts long valves, just so much better then the
Edelbrocks. I ported a set myself and got over 300 easy.
Just do it, Buy the SM heads and be glad you did.

GT.
