I think he means the Aussie company, bought or run by Syndey Speed.

I heard that Procomp had a bad rep and has recently gotten better. I've never ran anything by them though.

their cylinder heads are cheap, and are cheap for a reason...they take machining and deburring to clean up well enough to actually put on a motor and end up costing more than a quality set of AFR/similar heads

i havent heard anything good about them really

Just what I was thinking, Matt. Only $90 more and you get ARP fasteners.

Ya, only downside is that they will be heavy pigs, and prob overkill for him, I think.

I would at Scat's I rods. Lighter and easier to get your 355(?) going.

Does not mean they are made to the same spec, or even with the same tooling or machinery.
