They are an off shore head.
The ebay listing looks like a single head and at that price there are others like the EQ and dart heads that are much nicer.
Some have screw in studs and some are pressed in. The studs of either type are crap for thread quality and strength.

They would be as good as a clean core head. And the exhaust seats on some heads are very soft when machined like machining bronze seats in an ols L series Datsun head.

At what appears to be $310 each there is other suppliers that have better head deals for a pair at that cost.

I asked because I have never seen a Vortec replacement in aluminum.

They have them as low as 280.00 if they flow like eq vortecs they would be a nice street head for a 350 build I'm assuming they're copies of cast vortecs
