If the Chinese ever get into it, we may see decent $395 finned aluminum heads again. If they can make $109 "shoebox" Ford three row radiators, I don't see why they couldn't make a decent set of cheap heads. Does anyone have any idea of why Offenhauser heads are usually priced hundreds of dollars higher than comparable Edelbrock's? Especially since the latest improvements.

So I guess we're all in agreement that all Edelbrock's use 3/4" reach plugs (and always have). Here's a link to the thread where we determined that Offenhauser heads (used to) need a 5/8" reach plug; which isn't made :https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...ghlight=spacer. I hear that problem has been since corrected.
