Edelbrock BB alum. heads == PRICE?

[Dr. Righteous]

Does anyone have any idea on the price range of the Edelbrock BB alumnium heads?
I sure hope they are affordable. I would
LOVE a set of them!

[DusterDave]

Here is one place that's selling them. Price is $1,399.00 complete. They also sell them bare for less.

$1399 PER HEAD or per pair???
It says "quantity 1"

[70gtx]

i just paid 2049. pair complete with install kit for indy s/r's.i would say 1399 each but im just guessing.

[Morris Brown]

Dr. Righteous the eld heads are ok but ck out hughesengines.com These people have the parts to make your mopar out do any thing. the prices are not bad either.

[Dr. Righteous]

I was kind of hoping that they would be priced in the neighbor hood of Edelbrocks other big block heads for chevy and ford.
You know, under $1200 for a fully assembled pair.
Will my hopes be dashed?

[Street-N-Strip]

None of the Edelbrock big-block heads sell for _under_ $1200/pair assembled. The cheapest I've seen are their Ford FE 390-428 heads, and they're still over $1200. All the rest, even from the mail-order houses, are $1500-$1700/pair complete. I don't expect the new big-block Mopar heads to be any different.

[DAVE JONES]

Hey guys, I'm not a BB guy but I would advise any of you that are looking at "bolt on performance" to check out Hughes web site then call him about these heads. He has been selling the SB version for awhile and He found out that when he tested (flowed)the SB heads, there were inconsistant numbers and he also found that there were variations as high as 20 cfm from port to port (out of box). This is why he offers 3 levels of porting now. He also states that PLAN on having the seats redusted since they can be out of round as much as .005-.01. All I'm saying is to make sure to do some research before buying and bolting on. Maybe the BB version are superior but I feel that I owe you this info....thats just my .02
good luck........DAVE

If thats the price of an assembled head...there looking better and better

[Dr. Mopar]

Haven't see a price on the BB heads yet, but if they are like all the other alum. heads out there for sale that I have done they will need some good port work to make them work well. The out of the box big performance is a mith, although I am sure they will be an improvement over stock heads. Even the Mopar Stage VI need work to make them perform up to expectations

Based on the port flow, can someone here figure how much horsepower these heads can support?

if you buy from compu-flow ,nick will give you a flow sheet with your headsand clean bowls ,make exhaust flow about 70% of intake . my s/r's should flow around 280-290 . $150.00 for port work.free flow sheet.

[rat roaster]

I priced them out at mopac in Calgary ,Alberta, Canada and they were listed for just under $2400.00 Canadian . The world Indy SR were listed for a bit over $2500.00 Canadian.They said they wouldnt get any till FEB/2001. If I remember correctly in canada the SR to Edl price diff was like $180.00 ,but you have to add on the head bolts and oiling lines for the Indy SRs.I think I will by the Indys unless someone can convince me otherwise. I would like to see some dyno tests on both heads out of the box though.

"Even the Mopar Stage VI need work to make them perform up to expectations". Not only do they need work, they need a lot of it. I have used some other Edelbrock heads, and they all have performed very well out of the box. They come with blended bowls and port openings matched. Do not try to compare them with more serious heads; they are intended for moderate street use, and propably will handle their job perfectly. While there may be some decently performing ported factory heads around, they are iron. With aluminum heads you remove a considerable amount of weight from the front; does good for both traction and handling. I have used some aluminum aftermarket heads in the street, and I must say that they are worth every penny.

[Dr. Righteous]

The main thing I like about aluminum heads is that you can run higher compression on pump gas. That is a win-win on a street car.

[Brian C]

The Edelbrock heads are sold for $1049.95/ pair bare, and $1249.99 complete from summit. They are about the same price as the SB heads I do beleive.

[Bryant Fields]

I went to the site linked below. What's the difference between the 6092 and the 6091...besides the 200 bucks?

[Street-N-Strip]

#6091 is the part number for bare castings

[DusterDave]

The flow rates @ .600 valve lift are:
Indy SR ($1,850/pair)
intake: 290 cfm
exhaust: 204 cfm

Edelbrock Performer RPM ($1,200/pair at Jeg's)
intake: 291 cfm
exhaust: 214 cfm

Combustion chambers
Indy SR: 75cc
Edelbrock: 84cc

Gentlemen, we are now living in an age where almost anyone that wants aluminum heads for their BB Mopar, can afford them. You are simply not going to get heads cheaper than the Edelbrocks. Move over Indy SR!!

I WANT THEM!! Is $1200 per pair for fully assembled heads??

Hmmm, what would the compression ratio be
for my KB pistons with zero deck height on my .030" over 383?

To get the Edelbrock chambers from 84 cc to let say 75 cc. Does anyone see any problems in shaving them down ? I would like a 75 cc chamber.Seems from the write up in the Mopar Mag that they are plenty thick. Also I guess they oil the stock way ?

[Dave Hench]

I ordered a pair from Jegs yesterday. They won't ship til February. But now some other choices have to be made before I can get my engine running. First I wounder who will make non-custom priced quench dome pistons to suit this head, next do I go with a stout roller, or with a really stout .650" Comp Cam 290 deg @.050. I think that altho the roller would be more costly at the onset, the longevity of the roller on the street,plus strip might be the better choice. Any suggestions out there?. Also thinking about 13.5:1 cr (don't drive much on the street)
Any comments? Talked to Edlbrock today and F.Y.I. the intake manifold ports size of the head is 2.27" x 1.23", Exhaust is 1.656" x 1.188". Not quite Max Wedge size out of the box,(probably will go to that size easily), but much larger than 906 or 915 heads.

The only thing that bothers me about Edelbrocks flow #'s is that they were taken from a pre-production casting. They wern't mass productions examples...It would be nice to see an idependant flow bench do a back to back comparison of stock 906's (or whatever) to a "mass production" example of these new heads.....call me a pessimest....kinda like those "stock" examples of cars the factory used to provide to magazines for reviews (the ones with the blueprinted engines)...

I just called Summit today and they said that they did not have complete heads because Edelbrock has not released them yet. Apparently, Jegs takes the bare heads and they put their own valves, springs, retainers, ect..... to make them complete. The Summit guy i talked to called Edelbrock in the middle of our conversation to check. Edelbrock said it will be another 6 months until their complete heads are available. Just wanted to let everyone know. Has anyone else heard this?

[DusterDave]

Jeg's is taking orders, but only for assembled heads. They don't have a price for the bare heads. I talked to them today, and the guy said they have orders but no heads to ship. When I asked him if its certain that the heads are coming in February, he said, "Knowing Edelbrock, you'll probably see the heads in about a year". I was all set to whip out my credit card until I heard that. I don't want to wait "whenever" for these heads. I may have to spend more than I want to and buy the SR's after all. Damn.
I think the hold-up is their foundry not yet geared up for production of the castings.
