There is a really nice set of W2's for sale in the parts section that I am sure won't need any porting to outflow the RHS heads. I just can't figure why they would recast the magnum style head instead of a W2 or W5 base head....



Because the W2 can't be called a "factory replacement" head.



I can't see wanting a factory replacement head on a 408 for racing...Besides, the W2 was offered on at least one factory vehicle I can think of.
