I stumbled across this ad from 1993 and thought it was cool, just passing it along. Wonder if anyone remembers it?
Totally backwards from today, right?
In this day and age when they're not hardly making any manifolds at all, it's interesting to see that, for awhile anyway, they were basically free with purchase of a whole top end.

I remember that way back when.. I thought it was BS when I first seen it.. that was near the time I bought my first set of W-2s

The good ol' days when Mopar Performance still cared about their roots.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I don't remember the year but it had to be the very early 1990's they were selling W-2 heads for 99 bucks each . I should have bought 20 or 30 of them.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

I have 2 sets of W-2s but MP screwed up on the second set.. they were suppose to be the long valve heads but the sent a single long valve and a single standard valve.. I dont notice it till I ported both sets and tried to put the second set on a spare engine.. well the rockers didnt work with the long valves that I bought like the other set.. and it took me a few days to figure that out.. seems like every time I bought parts from MP they would screw up something

Bought my 1st set of Stage VI heads in 93, went to Jarrett Dodge use to be in Hatboro Pa, picked up the heads, and Stan asked me if I wanted the intake..I said what intake, he said the one Mopar shipped with the heads.
Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth. Some of us are so open minded they only see their View

Reminds me of the COLUMBIA HOUSE 12 albums for a penny adds.
And yes MP screwed up all the time. I had a set of BB head gaskets shipped in a box that was10” long. Guess what had to happen to get them both to fit in there.

Nice little promo.. May as well give you a little something for the over the top amount of money you had to pay for the heads That was my thought exactly!! Or, you could think of it as partial compensation for all the $$$ you’ll spend fixing your new heads.

Ah the storied and colorful past of MP LOL.
If I'd never bought the direct connection engine manual + a catalog back in The 80s, life would have been a hell of a lot less interesting...I might have got into oem stock restoration stuff or European vehicles.
I've never owned an m1. In one of the books Shep said don't bother buying it if you have a street dominator....street dominator was cheaper. Uglier too but I didn't care. I've tried to buy a 337 for about a year, no luck. Should have bought 6 of them when the number was reinstated.
