[DeTomaso] You want EFI, why not ask the guy who knows?

As I recall, Kelly made a couple of castings for 351C heads. I think the 
high-port aluminum was done later.  Kelly would know for certain.  After 
Dan's dyno information, I think I'm sticking with stock cast 4V heads 
for now so in my case, I'd be going for something that fit stock and 
that's what I'd contact him about.
