ARE stage 3 big bore heads, 853 castings Bare 853 heads with valves, just cleaned up. These were the heads that were on my car with a 414" solid roller. Made 530rwhp through a TH400 with a 8" converter, 9" ford/4.10 and 10.5" slicks.
They have 11/32 valves (.100 long I believe but not sure), 2.10 and 1.60 and the OD of the guide is .500. One exh valve is bent and will need to be replaced the others have been touched up. I have no idea whose valves they are, I'm sure you could contact ARE and see what they used to use. Chambers are opened up to 4.100. No spring seats/springs/retainers or locks, seats cut for 1.550 valve springs. I can give you a box of the old parts that were on them but I wouldnt use any of it. Valve cover area has been cut for a 0-ring for C5R valve covers, I'm sure regular gaskets will seal, if not you could fill the groove with slicone. Heads were just tanked and clean.
One head has the coolent temp hole opened up to 3/8 pipe for an autometer mechanical temp guage, other head has stock size meteric hole for the sender. No stripped bolt holes.
No recent flow numbers but I can tell you they made good power, 10.14 @ 134 in a 3250lb+ car n/a isnt all that bad. I was going to use these on my new 408 but decided to bail on the whole car/engine so I had work stopped on everything. They arent cracked or anything like that, deck is flat I pulled the car into the garage under its own power right before I pulled them off (engine had bad ring/smoking issue).
No they will not work on a stock bore, great set of heads if you waiting to pull the trigger on a set of all pros or something and you want to race your big bore/big cam n/a or FI motor this summer. Looking for 500.00 OBO, want them out of here.
