Hey guys, my friend has a old set of Edelbrock heads and wants to grind the fins off and polish them to look like a set of Canadian aluminum heads.
Any thoughts ?
Will there be a cooling problem ?
Thanks ...

Sure does sound like a lot of work... Reminds me of past projects of mine unfinished- too much work ...

Cooling won't be a problem...

Start with a mill.

I've got a pair of 81A aluminium heads here, I'd be happy to swap for a pair high compression finned edelhauser/Edmonds etc.
I really don't think you'd end up with something even resembling. Canadian heads with a grinder. Most finned heads are pretty much box shaped with fins if you at them from the side.
