Big horsepower 318 builds

There was a guy at my local swap meet that had a pair of R/T heads, new and still in the box. Pretty sure they were of the 1.92 variety like I run. He wanted $1000, no idea if he sold them.
That’s pretty good. A bare edelbrock is $743 @ Summit racing.
Considering the R/T can be ported past 300cfm, the only draw back is the weight. The pro is longevity of an iron head.
