I wasn't sure, if they were any good or not. I was just brousing Ebay the other day and seen those and was just wondering. I never heard of them before, so thanx.

If it's a good deal and they're not cracked, buy 'em and have them worked at a machine shop.

Re: Pro Comp Australian Heads

A few places was selling them new for around $600-$700. I was looking for a set of heads for mine, but again wasn't sure if they were any good or just a waste of money, which I don't have alot of.

Re: Pro Comp Australian Heads

I've heard complaints of so/so quality castings that sometimes need to be cleaned up a bit.
