Rick Lake, you would need the Ersons for Edelbrock aluminum heads. From what I understand the Shelby heads are pretty much Edelbrock pieces with Shelby names stamped on them.

Some other members have emailed me some info that may prove me wrong....so you may want to take what I've heard concerning Shelby/E-Brock heads with a grain of salt.

I, for one, will "live the dream" and remain believing it is true...

There was a recent thread on the net54 forum about the Shelby vs Edel heads and where they were/are made. I beleive it was Mike LeFevers who chimed in with some interesting info. It's back a few pages on pg 4. Look for the "Shelby Alumnium Heads" thread.
