Has anybody on here know anything about these heads ? Been offered a pair for silly money but don't know anything about them.

They're just Edelbrock's answer to the cheap Chinese heads that have come online, and basically just a aluminium version of a GM iron casting but with all the minor improvements you'd do to iron heads to keep them reliable (screw in rocker pedestals etc). They perform and have pretty much the same limitations as a GM Vortec iron head so you ain't gonna be making much with them, and you can only run a really mild cam etc, but if they're cheap enough they'll do the job for a mild engine and probably not much different price wise to getting a pair of knackered old iron heads upto scratch.

Time for a rethink, not really going to be worth bothering with. I'll probably go something that will give a bigger power/torque gains |

It depends what your aims are and how cheap they are really. Reworking aftermarket American heads is a pain in the balls at the moment because of parts supply problems and nowt ever fits properly.
