Roush 200 heads

[91coupe]

I was just wondering if anyone is running the world products roush 200 cast iron heads. If so what do you think of them. I've had a set sitting around with roller rockers and don't know if I should put them on or sell them. Right now I'm running a set of gt40's with roller rockers.

Thanks, I've already read a few write ups on these heads. Just hoping I could find someone here that was running those heads to see if they're good or not.
Thanks again.

Is it cheaper to port iron heads vs aluminium heads? The way it sound in this article the money u save when u buy them u could put towards a good port job and have a better flowing head! Just a question I've been wondering for a while. Thanks!!!!

I don't think cast iron would be any cheaper to port.
Aluminum is a softer, easier to cut metal, so if anything I think the aluminum would be less expensive to port.


Whether or not they can be ported to flow any better than a good aluminum head is debatable I suppose.


I would buy the aluminum head because:
1. They are lighter and can take a good 30-40 lbs of weight off the front end.
2. They are easier to port and polish.
3. They are easier to repair if needed.
4. They dissipate heat better and faster.
