Cleveland Cylinder Heads-CHI/AFD/TrickFlow/Edelbrock

Ok, I need to ditch my iron "Aussie" heads-too much compression for pump gas-so its time to get out the wallet again.
I like the CHI heads, they look to be nicely machined right out of the box and they kicked ass at the Engine Masters Challenge; has anyone got any real hands-on experience with any of these heads?
I'm going to use them on my 393 stroker in my Ranchero. Do you find this valuable?

Just wondering if you are going to get rid of the Aussie heads? How much? Thank you. Do you find this valuable?

I have a set of 2V (non-Aussie low compression) heads if you're interested. Do you find this valuable?

"I have a set of 2V (non-Aussie low compression) heads if you're interested."
yeah, Hot Rod, I'm going to unload them shortly, but they wont be dirt cheap-----I've got $1500 into them already; I'll post pictures when they are off the car and ready to go.

They are "Aussie" 302C heads, with the small 58cc closed chambers and the smaller 2V size ports; {I'll cc them again when they come off}, I went to town on these heads and put Manley stainless race 2.19/1.72 valves into them, hardened exhaust seats, bronze guides, CompCams "bee-hive" springs with 7* cro-mo locks, machined for teflon seals, guide plates and 7/16" rocker studs, a three angle valve job and cleaned up the bowls and ports and had them crack-checked. They have about a 500 miles on them now; They are good for 6500 rpm and up to 0.590" valve lift, and would work really well on a non-stroker motor with dished pistons. {mmmm, maybe I should build a little "Clevor"????} I'll post pictures when they are off the car and ready to go.

I've already got two sets of 2V heads collecting dust, thanks. and two cranks, a 0.030" over 2V block, two iron two barrel manifolds, three two barrel carbs, an FMX tranny, an AOD tranny, three convertors, two driveshafts......no wonder there is no room in the garage! Do you find this valuable?
