As picky as Chrysler is with copyrights, I'd think they'd have one hell of a time using Chrysler part numbers. That is a Chrysler casting number digit for digit.
They are Mopar Performance heads sold thru Mopar Dealers only 10 years
ago or even a little more ago.
Cast by Edelbrock and identical except for straight plugs the best
I could ever tell by visual inspection.
They are discontinued and I believe probably accepted for
some NHRA Superstock Classes.
I will research it when I get a chance.
If they are accepted for NHRA = They are worth a small
fortune.
I have paid many thousands for the discontinued NHRA accepted
Small block Aluminum heads that were made for Mopar and one
particular number different from all regular Edelbrock small block
Mopar heads.
By the time they are ready for Mopar stock to make specs which are
all totally everything machined total off from idiots at Edelbrock
(Wrong Valve seat and guide size/Runners way too crazy big)
you will have $13,000 to 15,000. in a pair for stock eliminator.
None of the above can you do yourself.
When you are done you gain 10 to 15 HP over the Iron heads and
have a very fussy car for temperature for consistence.

sabre67I researched them AND indeed they are the
corrected accepted NHRA replacement head for
both Stock and Superstock 383 and 440.

I will be visiting my Cylinder Head Guru
and good friend next week.
He will know the value of the Heads.
We are racing six of our Stock/SS cars Friday thru Sunday
plus preparing a couple of our friends and I will not have any time until then.

I was thinking that was the case... Didn't realize the value but not surprised...
Seems I've heard all this before.
This is FABO.
Thanks for the updates GTX JOHN, talk soon
My buddy had 2 sets back in 2014. They all cracked after about 2000 street miles on a 511. Kim

They’re an aluminum copy of the 452 iron head. Kim

An exact replica... Well, other than the fact these are closed chambers... And they flow about 40 CFM more than a 452....
Good to know. Thanks
Well good news AND so bad news.
Yes they are Legal NHRA replacement heads.
However, they are not popular for that due to the
fact they are not much better if at all to the production
906 head on his flowbench. Maybe not as good as "C" castings
or the even better "F" castings!
Sorry = His Opinion.

Thanks for checking that out for me, I was looking for some opinions on a fair price to sell them on FABO. Any idea of a fair price to start at? Just want to make them available to the members, not gouge them. Thanks sabre67
