Default 428 Cobra Jet - Heads Cracked - Shelby or EDL >?
-- I am bummed. ---Saturday , Ray was checking out my vintage 1969 Cobra Jet / PI heads from my intact vintage 428 PI engine that was the central show piece for my CSX undercar build.

Well -- both heads *failed* magnaflux - cracks are present in 4 places (2 per head)

So a question comes to mind is : Aluminum, Edlelbrock vs. Shelby.

I wanted to hear technical details, experiences good and bad on the FE heads available.

--Steve

PS: anyone have a boat they need to anchor -- I have 2 candidates.
