This is great news! It may not be as exotic as a W8 redesign, but really the small block mopar crowd should not be complaining! Its another cylinder head choice (after all the brand x-er's have tons to choose from, why can't we?)

Can't wait to hear more as the time comes closer...Brian, im just wondering, is this the head you said a while back would be coming out eventually? or is that another dealio?

One thing not mentioned here is the fact that if Edelbrock builds the head, we will most likely get an Edelbrock intake to match the head. Checked the price difference between an Indy intake and an Edelbrock intake lately?

Funny you mention the intake. Has anyone taken a close look at the Super Victor intake.... There is a fair amount of meat on the ports. Maybe they would use the same casting, and change the bolt holes for a W2 bolt pattern.

ALSO, a big thing I noticed when I first ran the Super Victor intake. Take a look at this picture, and then think of how the stock port is on a stock head... The ports basically shoot at the floor of the port in the heads... This intake looks like they kind of had a raised port head in mind. That's just my .




Here is my Victor W2 on the same engine with the W2 heads to give you an idea of what I am talking about. It is a much lower intake, and it lines up with the stock hieght port heads...

This would be one of 3 that I know of to be released. I know of 2 other companies working on both BB and SB heads. Edelbrock is very tight lipped about this head so if it ends up like the victor BB head, it may be a while before we see in on the market. But I'm hopefull!

3 new heads? that is great news! I will be hopeful right along with ya lol

noticed something more when looking at those pics

have a look at how thin the ends that seal against the block looks. sure looks like a raised runner intake that is just milled down in this area to fit the block with a stock portheight,or am i the only one seeing it?

ok so I'm bringing this back up top.. I can't get enough info to keep me warm and fuzzy! lol.... So I have a R1 59* block with W9's and the push rod angle is what bothers me a little... wouldn't all the W series mopar heads have this same issue? Meaning with my R1 is has 1.875 lifter bore spacing vs the 1.635 of the 48* R3 blocks... so this causes a ridiculous push rod angle even with my TD offset rockers... how can I get around this? I now have to run a tiny lil 5/16 push rod too.. I'd rather run a 3/8 but that's not gonna happen.

Just get the right block

I'm kinda stuck with this block, as it's brand new never run but has custom pistons built for boost... Will I be ok with my lower lift cam and not spin it past 7000?
