Victor heads?

Are these out yet? If so how do they compare with Indy EZ heads?  :feedback:

they are out , I am working on a 440 with them right now
 the Victor heads are a more serious head with a true closed chamber & requiring offset intake rockers as the pushrods are moved over so the intake port is virtually straight
 So far the problems encountered have been that the Eddy valley tray doesn`t fit the eddy heads , the Mopar offset rockers that the heads were designed to work with have been discontinued  so you will need to use Indy or Hughes rockers , & the shaft holddown / spacer blocks that Hughes have do not line up the rockers correctly on the head so we are having those custom machined as I type , it looks liek the pushrod holes will need to be opened up to clear the pushrods too , the heads can be ported to Max Wedge size if desired & they  will out flow the Indy 440-1 if you do that according to a friend with a flow bench
 I cannot figure out why eddy always releases their stuff with only 1/2 the engineering done & no support for needed parts to work with their junk

& assuming the valves don`t hit the pistons like they did on the one I did with only a .520 lift cam

we caught it long before we fired it But the valves are not in the same place & hit the edge of the valve reliefs in the piston , instead of lining up with the reliefs

Once you got all the bugs worked out, I might be interested in a set of them heads

I had the same problem with my RPMs.  I was going to use 1.6 rockers on my 360 with the Comp XE268 (.477") cam, but due to the close tolerances of the intake valves and the reliefs, I had to stick with the stock 1.5 rockers.

I also noticed the RPM intake ports required extensive sanding/grinding to matched up with the RPM heads.  Interesting how they make parts that go together, but their ports are not even close to lining up correctly.
