Unless they are being mass produced, that price is PER head. You'll need 2 for your engine.

They're big heads for a typical 350 but of course they're streetable as long as you're willing to do a BIg cam, Big intake, big exhaust, big RPM...

These heads are big so to match everything else properly, it all has to be big.

They're serious heads for a serious combo. Edelbrock claims a peak of 285 CFM on the intakes at roughly .600" and the exhaust port numbers look pretty good. The ports have a lot of material for porting. If both AFR and Edelbrock advertize TRUE flow numbers, the Vic Jrs flow as well as AFR's 210cc race head, with the AFR flowing a little bit more in the lower lift ranges.
Edelbrock sells CNC ported versions which cost arund $3000. They Have intake ports sized in the 237 cc range I believe The flow numbers probably rule also.

Edelbrock advertises them as a RACE head and they have worked well for a long time. I've seen them in use on a lot of backet cars in our area. Are there better choices? of course. Technology has come along since this design but for under $1200(which I've seen advertised a lot), they're a good deal if that's what ya need. Goodluck!

Yeah i was thinken that because it said "head" not "heads" but i was hopen it was heads haha. I loved AFR heads but are kinda pricey, but I take it its worth it. Ive gotten recomeneded ARFs by alot of people so ill look into what is in my price range. I was really just looken not really thinken to get any heads anytime soon till i get the new engine and get rid of the LG4 :P Im thinken of GMs 350 HO for $2200 and alot of other crap: 700-R4 trans, AFR 195-210cc heads, comp cam, edlebrock Q-Jet, hooker catback/LT headers ect. My dads friend is a machanic so hes gunna help me do the engine swap maybe in 4-6monthes when Im done saven $6k hahah .... well thanx again man

Thumbs up

If you are looking for a solid performance head...look at Dart Iron Eagles! The Dart's are offered in a 215cc and a 230cc version ...they are Awesome street heads and you can get the from Jeg's for around $900 (complete) ....I have even found a place on E-bay, that sells them for a around $700 a set (complete)
