Re: Edelbrock Marine Heads
I switched from g.m. rectangle to eldebrock marines and performer r.p.m.s last year.....ported the heads,gained 1 point compression and reliabilty of inconel exhaust.....package is 150# lighter, runs alot better, but gained only about 3m.p.h. on a heavy 37' boat alot of work, but not much of a gain Ken

I run these heads and think they are the best choice for shoestring budget guys like me that only want to make 500-550 hp. If this is you, go for it. I would leave the cam alone for now.

Re: Edelbrock Marine Heads
I was surprised at the power they made for me. 742 Hp with 2-3 lbs of non intercooled roots blower boost. Gasket matched only. 522 CID
Not my first choice for N/A engines by any means. Great bargain.
Flatlander advertises them for 1,299 but I have yet to find them in stock there.
