When a set of heads is referred to as Indy-Brocks does this mean they are Eldelbrock heads then sent to Indy for porting?

But, if you want to talk about the Indy T/A heads, which start life as a raw bare small block edelbrock casting and the fitted with big block Mopar rockers and no push rod pinch area line a typical small block and can flow over 300 Cfm then I can help ya there.

Indybrocks aren't just ported. The pushrod holes are moved out to get rid of the pinch, and big block rockers are used. Some people say they don't flow anymore than a fully ported edelbrock, but in my experience, I gained a few tenths going from ported eddies, to the now called t/a head.

John,I guess we shouldn't referr to them as Indy-Brocks anymore and just as Edelbrock heads that can be purchased from Indy and many other sources since the"Indy Messiah" has spoken and we are only pawns sitting at a card table and subject to "the luck of the draw"I'am holding Aces and Eights

Well I guess there is no such thing as an indybrock, and we aren't allowed to call them that anymore.

Indy Brock could mean any edelbrock head we sell.


I bet I spend 1 hour a week alone explaining to people that just because they bought edelbrock heads from us that they are anything other than just a standard edelbrock.



So to avoid future confusion for people the T/A head should marketed better.

Well I guess the best way to explain the difference is that its an aluminum true T/A Head.

The pushrod is not in the port at all, we get the castings raw, so its easy for us to relocate the pushrod and remove all the unnecessary material from the intake ports.

We also machine the rocker stands differently as to accept any standard set of big block rockers.

Add the CNC porting and you get a small block head that will flow over 300 real easy and is reasonably priced

Glad to hear that setup worked out for you.

It is a clever idea. If the Mopar engineers had done that trick years ago they could've added performance without adding much cost. Using the BB rocker arms is a cost effective trick.
