Hi guys,

i'm looking for alu heads in maxwedge-size. The indy EZ-1 would fit the project (but not the wallet...). I found the super stealth (bare for 499 each) and they claim to have larger ports, but not telling exact size. So the first question is if maxwedge portsize is possible. Secondly if someone here could generally recommend these heads?

thanks in advance,
smoke

I would be interested to hear anything on these heads also.

I don't think you can get max wedge size out of the stealths. Honestly, at $1000 for bare heads, you'd be into way more than the cost of a set of EZ-1's by the time you had them all done. And if you did change you mind and go with the EZ-1's, DON'T get them from Indy directly, go to someone like Dwayne Porter or Compu-flow.

dont go eddy victor 440 max ,great heads flow crazy with some work but by the time you get the valve train you got about 3 grand into them.

Smoke, why do you want a Max Wedge size port? Certainly nothing wrong with wanting them, I'm just curious.

@heyoldguy

ok, i'm fairly new to mopar and in germany it's an even more uncommon hobby.
My knowledge is still on noob-status (but the library is growing!)
Right now i have in the car a 440 with 906's, rpm-intake and a 770cfm carb....
I have no further info on the internals (only the number on the pistons told me that they are stock). So my guess is this combo is around 300HP.
Since i want some more bang i bought an unused 0.30over 76 block. With the block came a 4.150 stroker-crank (+ pistons + rods) and so i'll go for 493cubes. Compression 11:1 would be fine on pump-gas.
The goal is 750HP (means around 600HP on rear-axle).
I red threads where you also posted, that for reaching 750 maxwedge is not really needed. I assume that everything has to be built properly from the right pro without any mistakes to reach the 750HP. To be more on the secure side (some imperfections might happen in the engine-building-process or the builder is not 100% perfectly doing his job) i had the idea to go with mw-heads and a double plane indy 440-1 intake. Ok, still would need someone to pick the right cam for me.. ;-)

ANY ADVICE what combo would also bring me to the 750HP-region ( no problem if it's "only" 725... ) is welcome.

The only things i have right now are:

Eagle 4150 crank
Eagle 6760 rods
Speed Pro forged pistons L2266F
Clevite M bearings (think "M" is for racing and i should go for "H")
ARP bolts
440 block bored 0.030 over

thanks + regards,smoke

well what i found on L2266F is with a 4.15 stroke and 6.678 rod they will stick over .100 out of the block??

Other than that I would go with Indy 440-1 kit right from the get go and have CNC ported before it is shipped to you comes with everything you need then you just need a cam. what you need for where you want to go!! comes with intake and all.
and maybe upgrades in valve springs for roller cam and upgrade rockers to harland sharp or T&D and so on.
Guys can give you the names of some guys on hear to buy from or wes at mancini racing.

http://www.manciniracing.com/

440-1 head kit! they will get them CNC at modern or by Indy and upgrades you need

http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/in44hepr850h.html

maybe get the open access valley plate too well for sure!

You may want to slide over to "Unlawful racing and engine tech" section and title along the lines of "help me build a 750 hp pump gas motor"

Lay out exactly what you have and goals EZ heads are only needed where clearance is an issue like an A body. on a B body just get the TTI indy headers 2 to 2 1/8 step headers for 440-1 and SR heads can be boght through Mancini's
ask for you moparts discount! :-)

arghhhh, you are right... the pistons are not the right ones for this goal.
The engine is dedicated for an e-body.
Thanks for the links and your ideas!

Are you looking to hit a certain ET in the car ? I went with the Indy EZ heads on my 493 when I found out they were only a few hundred more then the Eddy's. I wanted the heads with more potentail in case I want to step it up more down the road. I bought mine from Dwayne Porter who is great to deal with and when all said and done I did not pay much more then the Eddy's as he gave me a good price. Everything works great with the EZ heads.

No, its the SR heads that are needed for A-body clearance issues. The EZ heads have a standard height exhaust port, SR's have a raised port.

Sr's are raised and extened very tight in an A body
The EZ's with stock location give more room!

One more issue with those pistons (I know they won't work but I can't resist bashing them) they are HEAVY. Get Ross or Diamond or JE or Wiseco but keep the piston/pin weight down. For that kind of power you have to rev the motor and the lighter the reciprocating weight the easier it is on all the parts.
Also you need to get out of your nooB status by buying and reading board member Andy F's book. He has spent a lot of dyno time, don't know where he gets the $$$.
Board member Streetwize's book is a real bargain at $7.95 or whatever he's getting for it now.

The advice to take this thread to the Race section is good. Those guys know a lot more about making block-busting power like you desire. Personally I cannot see the difference on the street between a 600 hp engine and a 750 hp engine, it can't go faster if you can't hook it up.

X3 , the EZ's are best used in A bodies.

I believe Indy actually made the EZ heads for the A-body since it is a tighter fit then the B-body. The other Indy heads with the raised exh port had problems in the A-bodies with fitting right and not hitting things. So this Indy head (the EZ) was done by Indy as one of their good heads but with the exh ports in standard location so headers made for A-bodies made for standard exh port location will fit good in the A-body. Indy raised its exh port to get better flow on their heads. But after seeing the problem with fitment on A-bodies they came out with the EZ heads and standard exh port location. Of course you can use them on any car but they do fit better on the A-bodies then other Indy heads. Also the EZ heads use stock rocker gear and not offset rockers. I myself use the EZ heads on my 63 as I wanted the standard exh port location and standard rocker arms. Its less hassle and cost then if I used any other Indy head. I could probably make more power with a different Indy heads but the EZ's make pretty good power for having the standard exh port location. Ron

The SRs require the expensive TTI headers or a custom set, but they probably have more potential than the EZs due to the raised ports. The EZs, though designed for A-bodies, will work in B and E-bodies as well and don't require the special headers. The EZs might be able to make 750 HP, but you'd have to ask around. The SRs can make 750 HP more easily, in my opinion. Both the SRs and EZs use standard rockers, but the 440-1 heads (which aren't necessary if you're only trying for 750 HP) require off-set rockers. Ithink that the Super Stealths would require quite a bit of work to make 750 HP.

guys, thanks for all of your valueable input.
The picture gets more clear... from post to post...
I will have a very close look for ported and matched
EZ (opened to mw) + indys 440-2d intake.
Since i want to go with stock hood i have only few
options regarding the intake in mw-size.
If there is another solution (maybe opened but not fully to mw-size and taking a better flowing intake) that will have nearly
the flow of the components above... let me know.

For now i'll have a on you.

If the EZ-1 heads will fit the project, but not the wallet, how do you plan on fitting 750 HP into the wallet. 750 HP does not come cheap. I don't believe there is an unported aluminum head that is going to go into the 750 HP range. Has the budget changed?

For example:

-496 stroker
-Edelbrock RPM heads ported to 309 cfm @ .600" + springs, retainers, locks, roller rocker arms, pushrods.
-Edelbrock Torker II intake (fits under stock hood)
-950-1000 cfm 4150 carburetor
-10.3:1 compression (pump gas)
-Solid roller 249/255 @ .050" .585"/.600" lift + roller lifters
-642 HP and 642 TQ all by 5800 rpm

Let's start there. What would that cost you to build?

And you are looking for another 100 HP? Could get expensive.

750 hp in USA $$$ I would bet you start at $10,000
and just go up from there.

@heyoldguy

budget has not changed, but i'm realised (what you knew long before) that going with the EZ-1 will lead to further (unexpeceted) costs and other things (external oiling) etc. I found a thread of a guy with opened to mw EZ's and he is happy. Right now i'm finding out about the costs for these heads and their modifications.

but your suggestion sounds also pretty fine!

-496 stroker
-Edelbrock RPM heads ported to 309 cfm @ .600" + springs, retainers, locks, roller rocker arms, pushrods.
-Edelbrock Torker II intake (fits under stock hood)
-950-1000 cfm 4150 carburetor
-10.3:1 compression (pump gas)
-Solid roller 249/255 @ .050" .585"/.600" lift + roller lifters
-642 HP and 642 TQ all by 5800 rpm


I'd be keen on knowing more about the cost side of this combo!
Maybe it could be pushed even further with spacer/crankscraper etc?
The compression might also be choosen a little higher, because the pump gas here is around 98 octane.

Thanks a lot
