I have Edelbrock heads. I am running 2.25" intake & 1.75" exhaust valves. They do fit without any special machine work required.

Also, I suspect that the "Shelby" heads are Edelbrock units. Look closely at the ridge on the exhaust port on the "Shelby" heads. It's the same thickness as the Edlebrock heads. I believe that this thick ridge is unique to Edelbrock's castings. Also, since Edlebrock manufactures the so called new "Shelby" dual plane and single plane manifolds, aka the Edelbrock Performer RPM & Victor JR. it only stands to reason the heads come from the same place.

I could be wrong and if anyone knows for certain I would like to know.
