set of complete al. heads for $749

i just ordered a set of these with 190cc runners, does it seem like a good deal for a mild street motor?

The link describes them as 210cc ports. Is the seller offering 190's as well?

They sound fine for a mild street engine if they are 190's.

Those look like another version of the former of the pro-topline heads. If you havent gotten them yet you might notice the ports might be oddly sized. A few people on this board had to do considerable port matching to make them work with just about any intake since they are neither a 1205 or a 1206. See if this looks similar.

he has 35 sets of 210's and 3 190's. i called him to see if he had any 190's. after reading about a thousand posts i knew 210's would be too big for what i wanted. $1100+ was just more than i wanted to spend on afr or tfs.

he is sending me fel pro 1206 with them. he did tell me that with my holley intake i might have to do some port matching. he has 700+ positive feedbacks and no neg. on all kinds of car parts so i should be ok.

Well when you get them why dont you post pics of them with the 1206 gaskets laying on them. Dont be surprised to find this.
