		Thanks CincyEd.   I remember the first time I saw a set.  I couldn't believe that "figure 8" style combustion chamber.   The guy that owned 'em was thinking about working them for a 428CJ bracket mill.   He was guesstimating the C-ratio to be well over 12.5:1.  He never did it.   But I did talk with a guy on the phone last year from LA who is running a set on a '27 sideoiler in a '69 'stang.   He loved 'em.   Liked is power proven ETs better than the Edelbrocks he had been running.  Not knockin' Edelbrocks, I want to run a set on a engine "in the works".
  All I did to mine was install 1.66 exhaust valves and do a little bowl work to help take advantage of the larger CJ/LR ex. valve.   My head machinist man said there really wasn't enough room to go with a 2.09 intake.   I felt badly enough about cutting a set of NOS D-heads up as it was.   But then I remembered....will I really give a s%#@ in 30 or 40 years?  |
