    Alum Head #'s Cant find info.

     



    I have a chance to buy another set of Alum heads(used) in great cond for $500.00.
    The problem is the seller does not know who made them. They look like great heads 2.02/1.60's Assy bolt holes, 7 bolt exhaust flange.

    The markings dont look my RHS and they anit Patriots.
    So I have called
    Dart.
    Edelbrock.
    Afr.
    Procomp.(no tech line to call. waiting on email return)

    Heres the #'s lazer etched on the intake side just between the valve cover and the intake bolts. HQ 030-111-195-0612-0339
    HQ 030-111-195-0612-0344
    Also they have a hand stamped # on the unfinshed part on the end of the head. 61207 U

    Any ideas?

    The trouble you're experiencing now is the same trouble you will experience when you try to get your money out of them.

    It isn't that difficult to determine the chamber volume, intake runner volume or exhaust runner volume. You can use any container graduated in cc's and pour the volumes with alcohol colored with food coloring. But the question will remain, what will they flow? Unless I had a buddy with a flow bench, I'd probably pass on these heads.

    I was thinking the same thing. OTOH I was also thinkin I could keep them around the house "just in case" 500.00 for a working set of alum heads is a hell of a deal around here?

    Same thing as puttin' 500 bucks in a tin can and burying it in the back yard. Dead money. Isn't there some other way the 500 bucks could be workin' for you?

    If they are ProComps, they aren't worth $500.00. Check out this thread:
