I don't particularly like them. Their catalog shows them only flowing 249/190 @.050" which isnt all that spectacular. Although i suppose for the price it isn't that bad.. Anyways if you're going to skimp on something with an engine I've learned cylinder heads are the LAST thing you would want to cut corners on. Buy a nice set of LE or AI, or something decent. Especially if you haven't chose a cam yet one of thier packages would be perfect.

Price? I've seen some heads priced EACH. Is the price we see for the Patriot heads for a PAIR or EACH?

If you would do a little digging on the internet as a whole you will find your answer.

Short version, is the answer has kept me from seeing anyone ever actually try the LT1 version.

Look at some mustang boards or some engine builder boards.
