Stock Eliminator Cylinder Heads

Main issue is the pins and bushings on the cope and drag wearing overe the course of production. The foundries don’t pay close attention to this! Been in many foundries and they all have same problem from time to time. Lack of good QC.

I'm pretty sure if you spend $6000 on a set of small block iron heads that "core shift" becomes a non-issue.

Oh but you can have problems. It’s call the lawn sprinkler problems

If I thought that was true.....There would not be racks with a hundred plus sets of head castings in my shop. If core shift does not concern you = I have quite a few that you could get a really good deal on from me!
