Glad to hear you are back in action...that dyno vid of your last motor breaking was the most gut-wretching thing Ive seen on youtube yet..maybe you should post a link just for old times sake...

i've wondered what happened to the cores and what not from these heads. as you mentioned i thought i remember seeing something that remarked they were for sale. weren't they based on an older AMC prostock head? aside from the quality control issues the were supposed to have at times they always seem to be a good performing head.

congrats on the sucess Vern...that video was a horror to watch

Pete, I can use the carbs as long as I need them. The owner doesn't want to sell & I don't blame em. I have other ( bigger carbs ) to try, but at this point, I think I'll leave well enough alone. The car is a 93 Daytona, MS chassis.

Hot340, I don't remember how to post the link, but it's still there under, My day at the dyno.
Personally, I prefer not to watch anymore.

Jamesc, I don't know about the AMC head, but I have a picture of Freds AMC that he had a 572 w/his heads on it. I have talked to Fred many times since buying these heads, & he is a very nice & helpfull guy when it comes to his heads. Yes, they had some issues, but, when resolved, these heads really work good. Vern!!

Tjmarcus1, thank you very much. I've had the car for a long time, & I love it. A friend of mine owns a grafics shop & he made them for me. I have them on my 4-wheeler (tow rig) also.

Vern I did not know your car was a MS car..What does it weigh. In my continuing effort to confirm I own the worlds heaviest tube chassis drag car I am curious.

He said 2570 lbs was the old set up so this will be
less.

Sweet car! Sweet power!

So, I guess you win. Vern!!
