I have ordered a set but seeing I live in Australia they'll be a few weeks away.

I will let you know how they perform on a stock 383 though.

Cheers

Unless I missed something, the heads are due out on January 18th. http://www.440source.com/heads.htm I have a set ordered as well.

EDIT: Brandon posted this somewhere else (Wed Jan 16 2008 08:02 PM): "A large batch of heads went out today... so people will start recieving them shortly!

I talked to them a few weeks ago and they said the 18th of Jan was a good number for release. I'd heard also that some went out already.

My God the price on their heads is low.  ASSEMBLED PAIR - Price: $899/pair ??  whats the catch.  thats dirty cheap.

I can't believe time has gone by so fast, but it really excites me that they are finally being released! popcorn indeed!

They sent out a few days ago, those were some BIG threads on moparts about them, and it those threads ended up being deleted becuase a some people were complaining about them being made over seas which is  ..There were a bunch of guys that had already bought them and are waiting to receive them. Some people would not even give brandon the chance to show his product. I hope they turn out great. Becuase eventually i WILL buy a set of them.

All I can say is that it's truly a global economy anymore. I ordered the "offshore" stroker kit from 440 Source and my machinist said it was top-notch.

[SeattleCharger]

Here's how it is. 

[hutch]

I just ordered a set of heads and the rockers.  For that price I could not pass it up. I am still bleeding out my pockets from Christmas.  Their rockers looked slick as owl shit.  Could not pass them up.

Mine were shipped out yesterday.

Hey, I'm one of those crotchety old white folks, but I'll tell ya what... for $899 fully assembled... I already have my set on order. I have to tell you though that I was more than a little leery about ordering them. I mean lets face it, $899 for a fully assembled "pair", it sounds just a little to good to be true, don't you think. Then again, many times introductory prices are just that... an early low ball no profit price to get attention. So its sink or swim, sometimes you just have to have a little faith and jump right in there. They sold out right away though, so it's first come first serve now. I don't know how long they will maintain the low "introductory" price, but for $899 I just couldn't chance it. Mine will be arriving sometime near the end of Feb.... Hopefully I made the right decision.

Hi, I don't know if this helps, but when I was talking to machine shop about the heads on a rebuild, he said he takes apart fully assembled heads that are ordered from wherever, like eddy rpm's or whatever, and inspects them and checks em all out.  He said that many times there is a part that is not put together quite right, and that he won't warranty the build unless he buys the heads and does this to them,  I don't know if that is just him protecting himself and making more money for labor, or if fully assembled heads do have a risk of not being all put together correctly just like I have heard here about crate engines.  Last summer he said that the last three sets of heads he ordered assembled had things wrong, can't remember what exactly, maybe valve spring issue?  but he fixed them and installed them, so it isn't the end of the world, these heads are prob. just as good as eddy's I would guess,  curious to hear everyone's experience with them  
  Man, I didn't think of the price thing, about it being an introductory price and to hurry and order them, I hope the price doesn't go up. 

[Mfr426]

I think if I was a machinist I would be the same way. That's the kind of guy I want working on my motor...

yep me too, im gonna wait it out, if they are as good as edlebrocks or better, i dont mind paying a little more, my question is how much lift can the valve spring take?

Great find! Now the question is what do our resident motor experts think of the product from these shots?

[73chgrSE]

Someone hurry up and install a set so we know they are safe.
