i've held a set of pond heads in my hand, actually two hands...
the castings look a bunch better cosmetically to begin with, they have thread inserts in ALL the holes, Edel. doesn't. they are machined correctly which i have now seen dozens of examples where edel. seems to make up their own tolerances and put holes wherever they feel like it......

like i said if i had to buy heads now, it would be the Pond over the edel.
i would pass over the shelby heads, i like to pay for value added features not a name....but i don't even really have a cobra .....so to replicate anything is not where i'm going with my car anyway.

if someone is going to build your motor for you....then get all of the different manufacturers info and let them steer you to what you should get
