440 Source Head Opinions?

I’m a realist.

I buy American when I can, if I can afford it.

But I’m not going to buy a $3500 Bryant crank and a set of $1800 Oliver billet rods to build a 650hp stroker.

For an application where Stealth heads would fit the needs of the build, I’d use Edelbrocks instead.

Thats fair, all I know for me when it comes to high stress components like engine parts, transmission parts, fuel lines and anything safety related, I dont skimp out on cheap China crap. Their metal is terrible. I would rather save up the money and do it right. If you dont have enough money to put quality parts in your engine then you should look into a cheaper brand/build. Theres a reason some people drive Ferraris and others drive Corollas. Live within your means.
