For what I paid for them I'm still happy with the investment. The intake bowl was pretty nice. Exhaust side needed some blending. I'm not going to modify anything else

The exhaust Helicoil just bent enough for my studs to seat completely -but not enough room to break them off. I had studs and guideplates left over from when I converted some E heads to shafts.

I think dropping the shims down you could even possibly go a 1.9 IH. I could not put one of my big Manley springs in the pocket but it is pretty close to 1.60 OD. Not sure if the valves could handle roller spring tension or not.

Just posted flow number we got today. My buddy has worked at machine shops and is a Mopar guy and felt they looked like a decent casting, decent price and definitely a better choice than iron! Years ago they would be a $4K to flow like that.
