Thanks for all the input , guys. I've decided to bolt on the Shelby heads. They already have larger valves, and with the porting and intake-matching that has been done, I can't believe the stock Edelbrocks will perform better without doing comparable work to them. I got such a good deal on the Shelby heads that I'd probably end up with more money in the Edelbrocks after porting/polishing, adding larger valves, etc. I don't doubt that the Edelbrocks can be made to perform as well or better, but with the two choices sitting in front of me, the Shelbys seem to be the better choice. I have another engine that I can drop the Edelbrocks onto, so that's what I'm gonna do.
