I don't understand why it takes them 30 years to make an aluminum W2? Is that too much to ask for? Tweek the ports and chamber a little on a wet flow bench, give it w2 and std ex bolt patterns price them a little more than the RPM and watch em fly out the door. No need to start from scratch with raised ports shallower valve angles... they are gonna have to ask so much that they won't sell any (enough to justify there existence anyhow). All that means new pistons, new intakes, special gaskets, probably specific rockers... too much for the common guy to deal with.

I offered the engineer working on them help and I was told they had it handled....they didn't need any outside help! There are a few guys who know about the help Edelbrock was receiving and that's why they are back at engineering... Guess they got it handled!

Sorry, I have to ask this. "What outside help " for Edelbrock.

what exactly are you guys looking for? there are several heads out that will get the job done. 
A W5 replacement head or better but workable with the stock block without the huge expense (or weight) of W2's.

indy is better than a W5, so you are looking for $1000 set of heads capable of W5 ?

I actually didn't specify which/what head. But yes the Victor would be nice and and worth the money if they are what they claimed. There was recent posting of a small block head someone was working on that was going to be ready to ship and something about being a distributer of the head. I try to order pistons by the end of oct. due to everyone else doing things over the winter. Looks like another year of edelbrock rpm heads, but at least ya know what your working with and there limits and its a easy 10 second build head. But it would be nice to have a head that could do more without a lot of high cost rocker gear. Someone kick me as I must be dreaming.

Couldn't have said it any better.
Make an updated version of the W2s, something the weekend amateur can get into. Maybe that is the W5??? (the MP books surely claim so, yet I rarely ever hear anyone talk about them)

W5 was an awesome head for stressing a stock block build. Erson rockers for them were very nice also and I didn't think the $700 I paid for them was a bad deal at all. I'd still be running W5s if I didn't learn the hard way that they were casted from junk. We also considered the Indy route, but I've also heard some stories of casting issues with them also. Seems to me right now Ebrock heads are a good comprimise since you can no longer get R blocks. What's the sense in anybody making a good head if you don't have a block to bolt them to?
