Currently rebuilding a 4.0. It has the 0331 head, so it's not going back on. Choices are:
Edelbrock 1660.00
ProMaxx 682.00
Clearwater 445.00
Probably not Edelbrock because of cost. Which of the others should I go with? Any experience with either?

you will find that the popular choice around here is the clearwater. however, i don't have any experience with that, yet...

the other thing you can do is go with a 99 model head.

Well, the Clearwater has a 5 year warranty, while the Promaxx is 90 day limited. Pretty clear, right? Well, I don't think that price included valves. Will have to check tomorrow.

Get a higher quality valve train setup for that new head you will not regret spending a few extra bucks for it.
