RE: Prices . . . yes, it is completely different on the prices of Offy's versus Eddy's heads. It seems the Offy guys need to charge a lot more than in the past - probably to justify the production run sizes and costs (but who knows). I will say, for the price, I'll stick with Edelbrock as they have excellent foundry/castings and are a good product for the price. Long gone are the days of $450 - $500 heads . . . and that was a few short years ago.

One challenge at the moment is that most folks are OUT of stock on the Eddy heads (including Edelbrock's own website) - so maybe it is a "supply and demand" issue?

Also, I did like the original "as-cast" chambers in the Edelbrock heads - better than the ones they produce today with the CNC valve pockets (that are deeper than they need to be).
