Looking for a set of heads for the 454 bbc. Preferably in south florida but maybe we can ship them. Thanks

How much you looking to spend, you want them complete or bare? I have 2 sets of Wedged and fully ported JimV (Valako Race Heads) Merlin heads.

I just got Jims new Valako Race Head casted by Dart and have been thinking of selling my Merlins.

A guy has some 188. Will they fit my gen 6 454 and do you recommend this over 781 with small valves>>>???

188s or 088s?

IMO a large oval Merlin head or 781 head is better than Rec. Port head for a mild to moderate 454. If you're planning on going a little more radical (over 5200rpms, or 525ish Hp) the rec. port heads are probably better.

Any Gen IV head will fit a Gen VI motor.
