Like it says just wanting to get some opinions, I'm on a budget and looking to make some more power.

I've seen these, before.
They were the subject of a similar thread, not too long ago.
Comments ranged from, "you get what you pay for", to, "seems like a good deal".
I'd like to know what components are used, and to dial the tech telephone line, shown at the bottom of the ad.
Maybe an owner of these will see this and chime in......

Edit: I want to add that the photos don't allow you to see the porting. $700 for the pair is $350 apiece. Of the $350, they are including springs, keepers, & valves. The play between the cost of valvetrain, as opposed to the remaining cost for the castings & porting would cause me concern for the overall quality.

My thing is if I would be selling heads that have a decent port job I would have pics of the ports, bowl and chamber to show off my work....but these do not have any

Good point, i asked them about the valve springs and they are just a factory replacement, not rated for any kind of lift if you have a cam. So those would have to be replaced right off the bat.
