I would use the patriots and day over tose junk Ebat heads...This is where you need to buy them:

Those Ebay heads are pro comp or something like that, they are only good if you have them ported and basically do all the extra work.

Not sure about the patriots, but i do know the procomps are made in china and are complete junk unless u have about 800 dollors of port work done to them. And even then u only have a shiny turd. The china heads come with shallow valveseats which hurts precious pressfit. They are known for droping valveseats. I wouldnt waste my money on any china heads. And i know u have heard this a million times but you are better off saving a littlewhile longer and getting some AFRs or RHS heads. You never know what you will do in the future and wind up needing better heads. Then u have lost 900 dollors only to save 400. Just remember they dont make them cheaper for no reason.

+1 on the AFR heads. That's what I'm doing right now, saving for some. I wouldn't mind hitting the lottery, then I would have the motor built by new years 
But I am also going to put my motor on the crack. So really it is all in what your intentions are.

So really it is all in what your intentions are. this is for a friend of mine. he has a 355 with a scat rotating assembile. when he built the motor he did not have the money to built the topend so he just put what he had on it. the car is a 90 camaro with a th350 trans, 3000 stall, 373 gears, and a 125shot. now he is wanting to bulid the topend. he was thimking about the patriots with a vic jr intake, and about a 555 lift and 240@50? he has a 650 holley double pumper carb

You are right both scat and eagle are casted over seas. But eagle stuff is machined here in america. And is a far sight better product than Scat. Man if u only had to balance a scat crank haha. You would pick an eagle crank up and hug it every time u walked by it. Yea i wouldnt put a Scat chain on my bicycle if that was there specialty. And as far as holding up i guess they are alright. But for some reason u got to be a frigin con artist to balance one of their cranks. And its every one ive ever done to. But Scat does have a high end crank that is made here in america. But heak they cost as much as a callies. And i surly wouldnt buy a scat over any of callies cranks.

get what u pay for does not necessarily apply to everything.
eagle cranks are very popular in lsx builds, scat h beams are of excellent quality also
