The reintroduction of the W-5 head would be great. I think that the W-5 was simply ahead of its time when the ease of building big inch small blocks was simply not that affordable. Here we are in a day and age when the common small block is 400 inches +.. MOPAR, We need this head reintroduced with some of the updates such as Ryan Johnson and Leon Hudson talk about!!!!!

Any word on these projects? Time to consider off-season upgrades.
I know this is an old post but, I think the intrest is still here.

On a 420"-430" street/strip stroker, say 11.5-1 or so compression and a 265-275 @ .050 flat tappet cam. How much more power would ported W-5s make over a ported set of Edelbrocks?

Heads Likely

Block definitely

As long as the notorious QC issues are dealt with appropriately.

yes that would be a good move on chryslers part if they released some economical power parts.as we all saw the edelbrocks sold pretty good i believe mainly because they were new and the price wasn't bad instead of reworking old used heads.i have a good set of '98 w5's on one motor and 2 sets of newer style w2's on two other motors and i am very happy with the easy power results of all 3.if mopar did retool for some parts i would love to see some aluminum large port w2's as well.boy what a choice we would have then!

It all sounds great to me. I am fixing to post my Brodix for sale and would love to be able to run a W-5 setup.

Sounds like a very logical marketing plan. There was a W5 top end for sale at the Woodburn Mopar meet last weekend. The guy wanted $3500 for ported heads with 1.6 Erson rockers and a 4500 flanged MP manifold. Nice looking setup.

If MP won't do it maybe they'll sell you the core boxes! Make some changes to them and get into the head business. You'll probably need to raise $100K in cash or so to get it going but I bet you could make it fly. If you do one thing really well the guys will beat a path to your door.




I agree, i would'nt count on MP, I'd like to see the W5 agin, are the W7 still in production or is that a completely differnt animal?

two months ago.

Any news on the R-1/X blocks or updated W-5 heads?

I would love a set of new quality W5's, as well as a R1A block. It would sure help with what I want to build right now.

The R3 is really nice, but I can't afford one.
