Best FE Heads And Why ?

[Keith Stevens]

I'm not sure why you're calling them "low cost". They were 98.00 less than Edelbrock heads when I was shopping. I also know at least two people who bought them had to have a valve job done on them because of seat run-out.  I'm not trying to be disagreeable, just stating observation.

I think when I do the other engine being I'm fighting the scuzzy radiator syndrome with the leaking oil gallery rocker feed lead I'll use Jay's heads providing they work with a factory intake and are available.

Jay’s FE Power heads will not work with a factory FE intake manifold, the intake ports are laid out in a different configuration, and are significantly raised. The FE Power heads will have to be used with the matching FE Power intake adapter and upper intake manifold. Jay will have multiple intake designs available though.

I would be okay with the tunnel-wedge design. I can't run them if it raises the height more than a dual quad medium riser or deviates much from the factory in looks. It would be nice to run something that breathes.
