First time I saw the EQ BB Chev heads at PRI I thought they would be a player in the iron head market, especially for the price. I think you made a good choice.

Ya well let me tell you about a lesson learned... Nothing like buying them assembled and "ready" then to spend even more making them right... As me how I know...

My top ends have less the 50 hours on them so not looking to throw them away but if I where to get a bare set of newer style round port head to get more flow would I be able to switch everything over. Or would it not be worth it and just wait till the next rebuild or brake to switch to the new ones?

I wouldn't put assembled heads on an engine without at least having them checked. Most common thing I've seen are tight exhaust guide clearances. not setup for marine or blowers.

Not always, it depends what kind of deals you can get on valves and springs mainly. Sometimes the packages are hard to beat even if they need a once over.

what if i told you guys the best head is not iron or aluminum!

Not sure... Do the EQ heads come with 11/32 valves or 3/8? Most performance heads are 11/32. If you have 3/8 you would need at least new valves, retainers and keepers.

I'd probably agree with you!
