Not trying to go off-topic here, but did somebody say the rumored Edelbrock Victors have been back-burnered indefinately?

Why can't somebody just re-make (or reverse engineer) a good quality last production run (the good one) W5?

The Airwolf my is a great head for what I paid for the set I have, whether my particular combo will tap the full potential of them we'll see (my car is going over to the Daurity shop in a week to try to fit up the 1 7/8" TTI's for a start), but I do think they could be a good candidate to an offset rocker, not to just remove the pinch, but to allow the port to widen way out along the lines of the old pro-stock W2's. Probably could get 325-330 out of them at a still reasonable lift and maybe a proportionally larger valve.

I'd been kinda out of the small block stuff for
20 yrs, got frustrated with all the poor MP quality control for a lot of that time. But I'm back into them now and it seems there's a lot of potential for the right casting to come along that allows for a true "mild to wild" built...I suppose something similar to how Indy approached the EZ/EZ-1.

Also wish we could get dart or someone to cast a big bore 4 bolt 48 degree in the 1500-1700 range like all the Chevy/ford stuff that's out there. I think maybe the LS stuff is so good and so plentiful it's really overshadowing the whole aftermarket now.
