silly question
hi everyone I have kind of a silly question. I have a chance to buy a 555 bbc at a very good price because the owners car didnt certify for 7.50 so he is parting out the rest of the car.

pro comp bbc heads
Has anyone heard anything about the pro comp brand of heads? A buddy of mine works at a local speed shop and told me about them, he said they flow better than his iron heads he had a lot of port work done to and they look like nice castings, but it sounds too good to be true with the price.
