So can you run six cylinder head studs with this head? How does the top row work?

Looks like a fun project. The bolt pattern on the exhaust seems wrong to me. Wonder what the designer was thinking there? The other choices on the head seem to make sense. It is wrong. Rick sent me pics of when he machined the first sets. I ask him about them and if they raised the exhaust bolt holes enough when the port was raised. He doubled checked and they didn't. He told me TTI was already making headers based on the wrong position, so they weren't going to change it. He did say he had Cometic making an exhaust gasket for the pattern. He also said a standard W5 gasket will fit, and just barely not cover the port, but does bias the header to the bottom of the port. Ha, that is too funny. They raised the port but forgot to raise the bolt holes. Umm, some sort of rookie running the CAD system over at Edelbrock these days??

Seems like you could add tabs on the exhaust flange and drill a couple off extra holes in the head. The center in particular would respond well to another bolt in the center at the top

I hate that exhaust bolt locations, I mean they spent all this time and effort just to put out a head that look like it fell off the back of Cooter's trailer. How do you as this huge company even allow something to leave your shop that way.....
I guess either W9 or going to gen III Hemi will still be in my future

Started work on our heads Monday. They flowed 364 @ 800 ootb and with a valve job and clean up of tool marks went 380 @ 800. They are going on 440 inch Ritter block 4.185 x 4 and will be up and running next week. Edlebrocks site now shows big block victor rockers and Houghes has them ready to ship, ours arrived yesterday.This stuff is the real deal and will make big inch small blocks easier to build,as the parts are now available. Also the exhaust bolt pattern is W2 and our old 2in headers bolt up without adapters.I will update as we get closer to dyno day. Ive got some pics but dont know how to post.
Ray Can you use the top row of head studs? Did they change them from the proto type?

Not to hijack the thread, but spoke with Don Flanagan at Crower yesterday, and the Crower stainless rocker shafts for this head will be ready in about 4 weeks....so I'm told. You will have to mill the cast stands and bolt on their steel stands and rockers. Just an option for you guys wanting to run high spring pressures or endurance applications.
