I think this is what it may look like it was posted on another sight as stock Dave.

That looks nice, thanks Sooner.

I think wer'e looking at a BOSS 351 '71 Mustang. Those might be Edelbrock heads part number 61607. They are listed as legal for both Stock and SS. They ship as bare heads and the buyer has to have all the machining done. That seems to be the case here.

The heads in the picture are ford DOEA-N heads not edelbrock the casting number is on the head plus it has a Cleveland combustion chamber the edelbrock doesn't .

correct, that's exactly what they are... cast iron and for the others that are dying to know...they are well within the rules, they hold the proper volumes...no grinding, porting, acid, bead blasting, epoxy or any of that other cheating BS... they have 16 seats installed and a proper valve job on good ole ford cast iron.

I been working this style head over for 40 years...this is the best set ever

Edit...I posted last year in one of the threads where I got beat up that it is easy to get these to go 325+ at .500 with the right "stuff"....you all can do the math but this set blows those away....since the cats out of the bag, I mine as well turn this into an educational thread...stay tuned..LOL

Not quite. The 61607 isn't legal for stock on the Boss. It is on the 240hp (what I'm running) the 280hp & the 285hp. The 71 Boss is rated @ 355hp with the iron head. In SS the iron head is @ 330 and the Edelbrock is @ 340.

In this thread there is an Aluminum head pictured (with the recess around the crossover) and those real nice looking D0AE-N's.

And yes, I'm nothing but supportive of seeing another 71 Boss hit the track. If I had more resources, I'd have the 71 285hp in my Cougar which the Boss wasn't available in.

Looking forward to more post's on this build.

Dave, that pic I posted with the recess around the crossover is my cast iron DOAE_N heads..... this should clear things up.....the 61607 eddy head does not have a crossover

Whoops, sorry about that, . With the shiny from that fresh mill cut across that face, I mistook it for aluminum. My bad.
