What do you want to know?Power they may make? orWhat to look for in the purchase? Like what cubic inch they were designed for? Last time they were freshened? How many times freshened? Last time they had new valves? Is the intake coming with them?Who done the port design? Is it untouched Brodix CNC or is it some other head porter?What in particular are you curious about?

[porkchop4]

Mainly I'm wanting to know about there power numbers are they better than 18º I've never ran aluminum heads I'm not 100% on the º numbers I've been told smaller the number better the head and would they fit to a standard sbc intake are they better than dart heads just wanting learn more thanks

my buddy had a engine a little while ago that had the brodix 15* heads an I think it made 765 hp, cant remember the tq#'s it was a 421 I believe. it was a pretty good engine that pulled hard but was a little peaky, that was prob the cam or something though.

Would a 383 be two small for them the estimated compression is 15:1 didn't know if it was better to go out and buy a 400 block instead of use the 350 I already have

[perfconn]

A stock 400 block won't last as long as it takes to put it together with those heads.The 350 block will really cut down on how good the heads work because of the small bore.

[porkchop4]

So what would you recomend then

[perfconn]

Cheapest way to go and have it stay together at all is to buy a Dart SHP block and for some real realibility buy a Dart Little M.

[LateModel B23]

Or an Iron Eagle at a better price than a Little M.

You don't put that type of head on a stock block. Spend your money on a decent block first. What type of engine are you trying to build? 350 block? 400 block? Modified/Latemodel.

[porkchop4]

Well mainly just putting together a late model I have 350 block I just got back from the machine shop that I was going build a 355 6in rod motor for a factory stock but now I'm going to freshen up a different motor and I was wanting to use that block but now it seems like I shouldn't

[let-r-eat]

I really don't want to sound funny here but did you just say you were building a factory stock engine? LMAO. 15 degree heads on a factory stock engine? LMAO.I'm sorry. I couldn't pass that up.Seriously,If you're building a 350 block engine and want a decent set of aluminum heads for it just get some Dart 215's or something a put on there.And as Perfconn stated earlier, you will need a minimum of a 4.125 bore Dart SHP block for those 15* heads.

[porkchop4]

No thats what the block was going to be used for if I was going to buy the heads they were going to be for a late model I was thinking about building one in a year or two and he only wants $400 for the heads so I guess whatever I saved on them I'm going to have to put into a block

[let-r-eat]

$400 for 15* heads? I'd jump if they weren't totally junk for sure. You're not buying your stealing..

[50j]

You'd better look them over. That's cheap.
