Pretty sure these are identical but which would you purchase? Anyone know if I can find these assembled for any less? Not interested in remans.

Well, the first one states "thicker in all critical areas"
The second doesn't state that. Shoot, the second one doesn't have much info at all.

Clearwater and Odessa also offer the same heads, pricing very similar. They also sell on Ebay.

Yeah, stay away from remans, you will end up with the same problems.

Good price for a pair of heads.

I think I'll probably go with the first. I did find Odessa but even if you buy new and not remanned it said they require your core. J&C put up you're buying them new and they don't want your old heads - for 5 bucks less.

Interesting.

Odessa/Clearwater give you a shipping label for the old heads though... But, I would guess they are worth a few bucks in scrap at any rate.

the second one does say "thicker castings".

This ad is for a pair of heads. Heads are brand new thicker castings.
