Yeah - I hear ya bro. Very frustrating.

Thanks for compliment. I don't have any of the skills that you do. But I try my best. I already subbed to you a long time ago. Have great day.

Hi...Its still running just fine w/ zero issues. The heads are part# 60925 called (performer) for a roller cam set up. They are definitely angled plugs. Edelbrock does make a flat tappet head part #5093 called (E-street) and those are straight plug for sure. Neither one truly has a 3 angle grind as Edelbrock claims and the #9053's didn't come with stainless steel valves either. I posted a video on the #9053 heads incase you are going with a flat tappet cam. Maybe take a look. I felt the #60925 were of better quality. The 5093 did run just fine too, but I had to change the springs on em" and fix a couple valve seat leaks along with a mild port cleaning just to get em' to a satisfactory condition. Just FYI. P.S. 440 source sells a decent "as-cast"(complete aluminum head) they call (stealth series head) for $600 - quite a bit less than the Edelbrock 9053 and way cheaper than the 60925's and yes - being as-cast, they have straight plugs. Good luck with your build.

I wouldn't want to speculate on that. I'm not an expert. But my motor tops out @ 6300RPM and even with the 373's it still runs a little too high at the end of a 1/4 mile. I think I could probably have gone with a 355 gear ratio without losing very much off of the line. Good luck. I bet that motor must be really something special. I'm jealous. Take care.

It'll take a couple of years before it's even close to completion. But hoping to get some work done and post something around Christmas 2022 this year. Already getting really hot here. I'm gonna check your channel now. Excited to see that Blown 440. YEE HAW!!! TTYL

Thank you.

I lost big $ too. Glad u got it all sorted out too. Just saw your Savoy run in Sept. Very nice bro. I subbed.

Very kind of you to say that. I wish I was a better builder - skill set and budget restricted me, but I still enjoy it. Appreciate you're positivity.

Yes of course, I'm glad you thought it worthy of duplication. l saw it on a slightly older satellite and thought it looked pretty cool. I peeled all of the half-rotted chrome off of the plastic and then just went with it hoping for the best. l would love to see what your building. l dont care what stage it's in. Hope youre enjoying the process of working on it.

Thank you so much. Appreciate your comment.

You said it perfectly.

@@guidosarducci3047 BTW, see the comments from Donell Muniz? That's me, using her tablet. She's my wife. I might be able to get back my 71 Satellite, which I sold to a buddy in 2005! He parked it in his barn and never did anything with it. He just sold it to a mutual friend for $500! And he's holding it for me til I come up with some cash! 318 (cracked), 904, 8.25, 2.94s, green. Total Gramma car. My 72 Sebring was nearly identical, with 2.76s.

@@pookysdad4884 OH...Yeah, Ok. How are ya? Glad you're getting it back. Small block are a lot more price effective for the horsepower it'll bring to the table. I just pulled the 8.25 rear outa my car and sold it to a buddy. I had put a .390 posi in it, but it broke an axle right after it broke the drive line. But I already replaced the axle - It's going into a small block 73' duster. Woulda been perfect fit for your car as long as you keep it under 500 horses. You're like up in New York aren't you? It woulda been to far to pick up anyway. Just thinking out loud. I'm all excited for ya bro.

Yes, I agree but my budget was super tight. I'm sure I have easily gone over my projected cost by $5,000 Funny how that always seems to be the case. LOL Even a low budget build like this one. Thanks for the advise.

Thanks for the comment, and I do hear u. But putting the correct springs on before the cam break-in could've easily damaged the cam I chose. And I wasn't gonna run that risk after all of my hard work. So, I used the springs that came with the heads for the break-in because they were almost exactly what the manufacturer called for on the break-in procedure. Just a little lighter than specified. Then I pulled em' back apart to put the correct springs on after the cam break-in. I think Edelbrock has much to be desired, but after I went through the heads, I think they were more than acceptable. Way better than the iron 906's I was running before. I worked at a rather famous local machine shop for many years before he retired and closed his doors. So, I have a good understanding of what to do and look for. I did a mild port match and flash clean up for the 5093 heads. Nothing huge. Now, I'm running 60925's now with a roller cam on a different 440 that I just finished in June 2021 this year. They're not near as nice as the CND'd TrickFlow by any stretch of the imagination, but they're way better than the 5093 heads that I reviewed. And I gave em' a huge porting this time. I shoulda done a review on the 60925's but it was getting really hot out by then and I just wanted to finish the build ASAP. Besides the point of this review was to point out what I thought of Edelbrock quality. And that Edelbrock is not nearly as great as they claim, and they still aren't in my opinion. Take care Man.

Wish they were tucked up like yours. I'm really liking the 373 as well. Can actually drive it on the freeway now. Heh, Heh.

It was a real chore for me. Not getting any younger. LOL Glad I added the drain plug. Should make things easier in the future. I'm running a 28 tire as well. The truetrac will still hop on corners unless your real easy on the gas pedal. But it's much straighter off the line now compared to before with the sure grip - posi. I guess all of the sure grip cars drifted to the passenger side. At least that's what the guy who built the center section told me. Mine sure did anyway. Hope all is well on your end. Keep em' coming. TTYL bro.

LOL thanks man. Your Cuda is really coming along nicely too. Looking forward to when ya swing by and give us walk around. Can't believe how much u got done in such a short time.

Thanks man. It's no GTX though. I'm jealous. How's it going on your end?

Not to bad really. Just ordered new tail lights. $600, new bezels $200, and some new hood blinkers. Should get them next week. The old ones were ok but just really tired. Still no paint done. Just working around the edges. That motor of yours is radical. its amazing. Wish i had that one. My car is basically a daily driver now. Its gets a little better every month. Im thinking about taking it on the freeway soon. Havent chanced it yet. Take care.. Enjoy the ride.

That's the best thing to do. I'm on a tight budget and so I had to do as much as possible by myself. Plus, I'm kinda particular and always feel better when I assemble things myself. I've heard the Edelbrock guides are not the best either, but I cannot confirm that. I was just going off of what I found personally. My RPM's have preformed very well so far. But still needed much work out of the box to make em' acceptable. I really like the 71 Duster. And the 340's are legendary. One of my buddies has a 9 second 70 Duster w/ a 340. Sure you're having lots of fun. LOL. Please let me know if you've got any posts up right now. Always like to see what others are doing....What car, build type, ect.

@@guidosarducci3047 most of us car guys are on a budget so edelbrock heads arent super expensive . if i was rich id be running mopar w series heads and valve gear on my 340 . ive heard indy heads are decent quality too .

@@kevinpatrick8788 I hear ya man. So true!

Oh man! That sounds like one crazy mean Mercedes build. I would love see a post when u get it up and running. Good luck and thanks.

@@guidosarducci3047 I’m gonna try and video the whole thing from start to finish.

Thank you. I appreciate the comment very much. I'm currently running Edelbrock 60925's RPM's at the moment. I still had to send one back due to quality control issues. But I will say they're much better quality than the E-street heads. They had 100% stainless steel valves and I found zero leaks on the seats. Springs were decent too, but I ran the match set for my cam anyway. Just another $120 for the springs. The RPM's still required a good port cleaning. And I opened em' up bigger this time. The ports looked the same (to me anyway) on the E-street and RPM's but the E-streets are NOT capable of a roller cam at any lift. The seat boss' won't take it. That's why I upgraded to the RPM's. If would've known that at the very beginning I would've never ran the E-street heads in the first place. I was hoping to upgrade the springs later when I went full roller. The Trick-flow were still outa my price range. I should've got the RPM heads the first time around and just changed the springs for my tappet cam. then use the same heads again when I went full roller. But for all of the money I wasted on these Edelbrock heads I could've gone with the fully CND' Trick-flow heads and been money ahead. I just never had that much money at one time. I still don't. LOL I got it together Christmas eve and I'm content with it now. I hope your build goes great. What are u working on?

@@guidosarducci3047 I've had a 70 duster drag car for a long time. Health issues has sidelined me for a number of years. Hope to get at it at some point. At least it's stored in a nice clean dry garage out of the weather.

@@70stunes71 Nice! I hope all goes well for u and u can get around to it before too long. At least it's safe and out of the elements so you can take your time.

No, they're never done. LOL I agree. A couple of months ago, I twisted the stock driveline and broke the rear u-joint. So I replaced it w/ a custom built heavy duty driveline, and then right after that, I snapped an axle on the 8-1/4" rear end I had just built with a new posi center. That's why I went to Phoenix. To get that 8-3/4" rear. That was the guy with 69' convertible Roadrunner. It's a sure grip out of a 68' RR I'm having the drop out rebuilt now w/ a True Trac center and changing from the 323's that are in it now and going w/ 373's. I had put 390 gears in my 8-1/4" rear but it would run outa legs at the end of the track. So I'm hoping the 373's will be just right for my set-up. How's your build coming along? I'm going to your channel now to see what's new. Good to hear from u man.

Yep...No problem. good luck with your build.

Yeah, that's what I think too. Trick-flow makes a head that's fully CND' from the runners to the bowls. I'm running RPM's at the moment. I still had to send one back due to quality control issues. But I will say they're much better quality than the E-street heads. They had 100% stainless steel valves and I found zero leaks on the seats. Springs were decent too, but I ran the match set for my cam anyway. Just another $120 for the springs. The RPM's still required a good port cleaning. And I opened em' up bigger this time.

But for all of the money I wasted on these Edelbrock heads I could've gone with Trick-flow and been money ahead. I just never had that much money at one time. I still don't. LOL I got it together Christmas eve and I'm content with it now. No problems other than breaking a drive shaft and then later an axle. But the motor's fine. The stock rear in my car was just an 8-1/4". Building a 8-3/4" right now. Should be good after that.

@@guidosarducci3047 Sure wish I still had one of my Satellites (65, 71, 72). Or one of my Chargers (68, 71, 74). Sigh. Too old and broke to get another one, on my pension.

@@donellmuniz590 I hear u. They're outrageous money now. Even my old beater wasn't exactly cheap. But worth it to me anyway. I think someone must've put an old rust bucket on-line for $15,000 or some other outrageous number just to see what happened. Then someone else saw it and thought "my car looks way better than that" so they list theirs for $80,000. And then, these people just feed off of each others BS and the prices just get stupid. I would be happy with anyone of the cars u mentioned. I hope u can find something reasonable. There was a pretty decent demon on craigs list a few months back for $2,000. Rust free California car. It was a 6 cylinder but it was really clean, straight body, rims that didn't match, good electrical system, good interior except for carpet and seats. It ran and drove but had bad brakes. I saw the potential immediately. And so did someone else - It was gone in a day. If I had the money, I woulda snatched it up and saved it. There's still a few out there to be had.

@@guidosarducci3047 Only if I inherit some money someday. I'm on disability and broke AF. Had 5 Mopars a couple years ago (63 Valiant, 68 Fury, 72 Satellite, 74 Dart Sport, 74 Charger SE). All solid projects. All gone now.

@@guidosarducci3047 Of my old parts stash, I got just a few things left: a new pair of oil filled rear shocks, a full set of 63 Plymouth dog dish caps, a full set of cop car wheels, and a set of Hooker Competition BB B-body headers. That's it. Hangin' on to those just in case...

Very kind of you. Thank you

Thanks bro.

Thanks Man. My phone camera and mic are not the best and neither is the Satellite. Was all I could manage on my budget. Not near as nice as that Super Bee. God, that thing was amazing. Thanks for the comment. Good to Know I'm heading in the right direction with the build.

Thanks man. I saw your videos on the wife driving the Camaro drag car and the new Camaro u just got. They're both killer man! Both sound mean as "all get out" Question: Does the wife get the new one? Heh, Heh. The black one sounds like it's got a beefier cam. But they both sound great. We rarely see classic big power cars like that here in Ca. The smog laws are really bad. We can't building anything newer than 1975 - it's illegal here. Even headers are illegal.

@@guidosarducci3047 wow that’s crazy man and honestly I just got a 79 4speed car the wife want to learn to drive I should have a video of it here soon pretty clean car

@@smokeesview Oh wow, that's great! Congrats. I love Camaro's. I think there's something about a 4 speed that just... Well, they sounds so mean and aggressive when your going the gears really hard. Like it's about to break the sound barrier or make the jump to light speed. LOL I'm looking forward to your new video on that one. Please give me heads up when u post it. TTYL

Hey thanks Par. I'll be keeping an eye out for the diorama. Take care bro.

Thanks bro...It's not an awesome 69 GTX! But it's the best I could do with my budget. Love, Love, Love your car man. Glad U R having fun with it. You are a really cool guy and I'm so happy for u. I wish I lived closer to U - I'd be asking for a ride. Heh, Heh.

Guido Sarducci Im just South of you here in Cali...In the OC. Going to a car show in the morning at the Donut shop in Huntington Beach. Ill make a video for ya.

@@Campbase1 Oh, Cool. I would like that. Thanks man.

There you go...th-cam.com/video/yVJ_FRttjWg/w-d-xo.html

Thanks Martin. I think I did a short video on the install. Can't remember for sure. And I don't remember the brand name of the seats - they're just some cheapies I got on-line and then just made some brackets for em'. As I recall, they needed some attention right out of the box. I think one of the sliders was busted and needed to be repaired, but the skins looked great. They're far from perfect, but they're comfortable and offer good support. I still have the original buckets but they cost a small fortune to re-foam and re-skin. U can find em' on-line pretty cheap. I don't remember what they cost but I'm sure it was less the $300 for the pair including the sliders. What are u working on? Just curious.

Thanks Stacy

Thanks man.

Thanks so much. Wishing u a safe and Merry Christmas.

Thanks bro...I know it'll never be a show car, but it's been fun!

I'm doing a set of Edelbrock 60925 at the moment...The call em' the "performer" series. It's the cheapest roller heads on the market right now. I thought I could go to a full roller upgraded with these 5093 heads , but the seats and castings won't take the extra pressure from the roller springs. I should've done more home work before my purchase. Waste of money on the 5093 heads. Unless your staying with a flat tappet cam. I'll post another video on these 60925 heads when I'm finished porting them. I already had to send one head back because of bad valve work done by Edelbrock. Well hang tough. and I'm praying your worker comp kicks in real soon. anything else on that 68 Cuda?

Guido Sarducci Originally a 6 cylinder, now a 383, 727, 8-3/4. Don't know what gears yet. The car is surprisingly rust free with a very clean original interior. It's that mint green color. The previous owner pulled The engine by dropping the K frame so The K frame is sitting there with the engine tranny and steering still bolted to it. It's going to be a real pain in the ass to get this back together because apparently the guy was intending on putting a tubular front end in the car and threw away everything. The price is right though $3500 so I think I'm gonna pull the trigger. Send me your email and I'll shoot you some pictures

@@rhythmstyx1945 Hey bro, I got that new motor running Dec 24th Christmas Eve at 11PM. It pissed off my neighbor something awful. I thought it was like 8:30 or 9:00. Anyway, I posted another short video of a burnout with those 60925 heads and a slightly lager cam. Give it a look see if ya like. It's a full roller now. BTW those 60925 are full stainless valves and had Zero leaks. Much better than the 5093 heads. Still needed a good porting, but way better. How's your build coming along?

Hey Mark...I don't remember what pressure they were at - at the time when I first went though em'. It's been a while since l put that motor together. I do remember they were even further away from what I needed for my little .488 cam at like 470 or 490. I just can't remember. I pretty much wrote down everything but that. ( I knew I was gonna pull em' after the break-in anyway so i didn't pay that much attention to what the exact specs were. I wrote down what the main & rod bearing clearances were, what I cut the rings at (the gap I mean). Stuff like that. But I can say that the springs did work just fine for the break-in. Then I put the correct springs for my cam on after that and the heads are making decent power now with 10.367:01 pistons. A lot better power that when I was running my old #906 cast heads. Wish I would've had the doe-rae-me for a roller set up. This particular set up was about $2,300 les than the roller set up I was wishing for - dreaming of. I thought I could use these heads to convert to a roller cam later on. But I discovered later that the seats and valves wont tolerate a roller cam. I guess Edelbrock ( still ?) has a flat tappet head (all pre assembled) part#60929 that cam be converted to a roller set up later on. The last I saw...they were like $700 for 1 head. I can't remember if the were fully CNC'd or not. Sorry I don't a good answer for u. But If my limited experience can be of any further service to u. I'll try answer as best I can. Or, like in this case - if I don't know I'll tell u that too. What are u building? If u don't mind my asking. Just curious. Good luck with your build.

Guido Sarducci For real? Bad heart ❤️? You on a list for a replacement? How old are you?

@@rhythmstyx1945 No list...Congestive Heart Failure. I'm 53. Broke my Back at work and the construction company I worked for 8 years said I was lying...Delayed the required back surgeries (5 total surgeries) for 3 years. 3 years laying in a bed wishing to die. I fought 8 of their lawyers by myself and finally won the right for back surgery. It was painful and took another 2 years, but then I was able to begin to learn to walk again. But in that 5 years on my back, my heart deteriorated severely and it just wont ever recover. There's no list for people like me. I've accepted it and just live as a best as I can. Thanks for well wishes. Appreciated very much. Sorry if that was too much info. But that's what happened to me. Don't trust any employer. You are nothing to them just a means to an end.

Guido Sarducci I thought I was the only one. Bad back and neck due to heavy construction work. Had neck fusion surgery and got a staff infection. The last 3 years have been hell. Trying to get moving has been a horror show. I'm 57, addicted to pain meds, went through my retirement money. My only hope is an current attempt for workers comp which I don't have much faith in. I'm not very religious but God bless you man. I lost my 69 and 70 Road Runners due to this. Also lost my vacation home, foreclosure, and may lose my primary residence. Life can be a bear. Where do you live? I'll pray for you man, don't give up!

@@rhythmstyx1945 In a little town called Apple Valley in High desert Ca. I lost my entire 401K too waiting for courts to finish up all of my hearings. Thank God for my family. They took me in and let me stay until I was able to work again. Sorry bout your RR's must've been very hard to see em' go. I'm praying your workers comp comes through right away. I got a decent retro check after I won my case. Didn't make up for the pain and caused by my former boss' lies. I lived and worked in Las Vegas at the time. Probably made my boss at least $30 million in early completion bonus money alone. And he lied about when and where I was hurt. He was actually the one who made me go see a doctor the day I broke my back. It was the one piece of evidence they couldn't erase. In 8 years he never said "you better go see a doctor." At the time I just thought I really hurt my back and actually went back to work the next day until the pain was so bad I couldn't even walk. That's when I knew something was really wrong. Synthetic morphine couldn't even touch it. I cursed God for years. It wasn't till I was ready....I mean really ready to kill myself that I gave up and begged him to help or I would kill myself so I wouldn't suffer any more and most of all burden my family any longer. A few days later I got a final judgement in the mail and started getting workmans comp along with a retro check and finally permission to se a neuro- surgen. Most of the physical damage was already done by then of course and now I'm dying from lack of proper medical treatment from the onset of the injury. They call it systemic or caused by another unrelated condition. But it was a direct result of refusing me medical help from the onset. My broken vertebrae healed up all crooked and had to be cut apart in some places or corners ground off in other places to help with pain. 5 back surgeries to halfway get back to normal. 2 plates - nine pins and or bolts went into my back. There's no legal recourse for that even though what they actually did was murder me. It just took a while. I hope things will get better for u very soon. I pray for that my friend. Where are u?

Guido Sarducci I'm in NY, just north of Yankee stadium. The workers comp laws are terrible. If you get hurt and make a claim good luck holding your job. Best of luck with your Satellite, she sounds great. I am looking at a project 68 Barracuda. I subscribed so I'll stay in touch. Praying for ya Brother Man! Stay strong.

@@guidosarducci3047 Im good dude, thanks

Whoa whoa whoa yourself GUY. Plymouth never made a sure grip either. The sure grip is a Chrysler product which is also available in Plymouth vehicles. Further more, Chrysler sure grips were actually first called "Power-loc" which were purchased from Dana or called "Spin-resistant" from Borg Warner - then re-named "sure grip" by Chrysler not Plymouth. Weather it's the Ford - Traction-loc or a what ever - they are all what's known as a limited slip differential. Posi - is just the most widely used name for any limited slip.
