Which ones? There a are a few different part numbers.  They've got a big open chamber, a "340" chamber for domed pistons, and the closed chamber.

If you're looking for quench, the closed cambered ones are what you want to use with a step dish piston.

 :iagree:
61779 magnum head and 60779 LA head with 63cc or 65cc combustion chamber.  Do a google image search and you'll find pics.  Summit Racing has pics, but some of them are not for the part listed.

I've got the open "65" cc chambered heads in the garage still boxed up. Tell me what you need to see and I'll snap you some pics.

I would like to see the combustion chamber.  The Pistons my builder suggested to use with my j heads go up in to the head to fill in an area and get better quench, but if they wont work with aluminum heads (down the road) I would like to find a different piston. 
Thanks for the input.

What's there to look at?  Get a flat-top piston with valve reliefs.

These haven't been released yet(2012 sometime),but I am seriously interested in a set.

I just tried the link and its not working,why?
But Edelbrock is supposed to release a set of small block victor heads and they will have the stock bolt pattern and the race W-7-W-9 pattern and the preliminary flow #s look pretty good.

Here are those pics of the chambers sorry it took so long. I had to re-learn the pic posting process.  ::)
