Yes they will have 3 BB heads in the near future!
I thought V8 engines only had 2 heads on them.

FWIW, there is a comment from Trick Flow in the article linked below that gives some idea of what they're considering for their next BB Mopar heads:
http://www.dragzine.com/features/sema-co...uction-package/
I cannot view any comments on that article, they are all blank. Can you post what the comment was?
They are going to make a 270 runner head and considering one with even bigger runners, offset rockers, etc.

the big mopar time machine is running backwards!!!next they will be recasting the 331-354 hemi heads and then an aluminum version of the poly heads.we are never going to see any good blocks thats a given.as we speak they are clearing out a spot for mopar in the smithsonian..but...we all have to applaud any efforts by manufactures to advance what we all know and love,mopar,even if its not a max effort gm killer product.this does show that there is a market for us,so maybe others will chime in with new and better products.until then,the big power boys will have to mill out a billet set of 5 in bore heads and build a block stretcher to use them.after all we been doing this kind of engineering for an eternity just to compete...
SFI 25.5 depends,no leak,even at 213 mph....

Looks to me like the best bang for the buck head I've seen for a BBM. There is not a bolt on head out there for the bb mopar that flows this much for this price that has this apparent quality. So what's with all of the fuss?

Great......
Another head that drops right in the middle of a sea of mundane offerings to power a BBM down Main St.. What's that, about a dozen or more BBM heads that can't outflow a decent SBC piece, but still have the ability to bust a piece of junk 45 year old block???
No good iron, or CG blocks and not a single head casting that can top the ancient PSO.
I NEVER thought I'd see a day when it was better to be a Pontiac guy, as far as the performance aftermarket and R & D worlds are concerned. What's next.....another stock style HEMI head???
What an absolute farce the MOPAR aftermarket is......
Trick Flow doesn't make blocks...perhaps you should whine to Block companies about the lack of BB mopar blocks...and not whine about getting a better quality of cylinder head than most of the current offerings.
Reading comprehension issue???
Did I SAY they make blocks???
I guess all these low power engines need a "better quality" cylinder head because the Ebrock, Indy, B1 and whatever other heads are out there in this category of cylinder head are just coming apart at the seems.

The REASON Trick Flow wants to get in here, is because sadly, this is where 95% of the Mopar market is. So they conclude, correctly I might add, that if they produce a better "bolt on" head to compete in this area, that it will do well........and it will.
The problem on more "serious" offerings is the same as it has always been. There are just not enough of those guys out there, trying to make REAL steam with a Mopar wedge. And the number that are is fading fast, because they get to the point of fed up and look elsewhere. The thread asking about the Mopar vs SR-20 thread is a prime example. The conclusion there is, it can't be done in anything resembling a remotely cost effective way. So eventually even the MOST die hard guy will give up an unwinnable fight.
As for the PSO head, sure it could be made better, but I am sure in Brodix eyes, why? So few are sold, that they run them in batches of 5 sets, not to mention most Mopar guys have never even HEARD of a PSO head anyway...........PLUS.......and THIS is and always has been the biggest drawback, the 4.800 bore center block just sucks...............So, you do all this development on a killer head, only to have it saddled by a 4.500 bore......whats the point? The SMART thing to do, would be just develop a PSO or similar style head, that would just "bolt on" a Chevy style block. But then the purists will completely crush that idea...........LOL!!

OU812 doesn't have a reading comprehension issue.
Trick Flow doesn't make *any* products of the type you want, and you're upset because they're releasing something new of what they *do* make. If we follow your logic there should be no new products permitted by anyone unless they release a cylinder block first.  Are you upset at all the different intake manifolds out there too???
So go get a home equity loan, find a pattern shop and casting house, and start working on it yourself. You'll find out quick why companies aren't flocking to do blocks.
