buying heads off of ebay?

[buffblazer]

im wanting to replace my stock heads with some after market ones, and i look at edlebrock and see them wanting 1300 for a pair of alum heads and thats just a little more than i want to spend

but then i find these http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_tr...l+block+chevy+heads&_sacat=See-All-Categories


pairs of heads complete for around 500 to 700 and alum heads.

now anybody know if they are a good buy or do you get what you pay for.

Vortec heads would be better than those LT1 heads. If you were contemplating those Edelbrock's at that price, buy a set of Vortecs with a matching intake manifold.

I've been hearing more and more talk of these new aluminum heads as direct competition to edelbrock. and cheaper and better performing.


I'm weighing on a set for my BBC. for $1400 assembled have to consider it at least with a pair of 781s need rebuild and porting....... you'd be into if for some money there.
