Looks like a more expensive Edelbrock knock off to me!

You can get bare E heads with or w/o PR holes.

I would want to know how deep the seat incerts are as there are a few Asian cast Chevy heads out there that have dropped seats within 2000 miles, and ya know what that ends up doing!

If that was the price per pair I might consider being a guinea pig. I did that with the early E heads and ended up selling them because of the oil drainback issues. Don't need that again.
