To far off to change, and the cam tunnel has no possibility of working.

Why are there two P5 heads(wedge and Hemi)? Plug location, the Wedge units didn't have the plug lead through the rocker cover. I am fairly certain that Con Sideris here in Australia probably has some left. I know the foundry that cast them still had them left, perhaps try and contact them. http://www.racerpro.com.au/Cheers

No castings left, the patterns are still there getting dusty. Alan, what castings were they making? Had heard that someone in Australia was making heads. The mopar castings I'm getting am sure are going to need hrs of tig welding to be useable

Before everyone went to billet heads over here for Pro Stock, a local engine builder (who was taking care of a RWR engine in the Mopar backed entry) was getting them cast. From what I understand they were based on the factory casting, some have said an exact copy. Rumour has it he got into some trouble with Mopar in regards to it. From what I was told they would still crack around the intake port bowl, but I never saw a set that had failed in this manner. The afore mentioned engine builder has since closed his shop, and the foundry that did the castings for him haven't heard from him in some time. The patterns are sitting in storage getting dusty. I worked at a CNC shop that machined the castings for him, I wish I had grabbed the CAD files before I left, but I figured I'd probably never use them.

I am surprised that no one has done a Hemi style head for boosted applications for LA blocks. I am aware of the Hot Rod style head that was done, I'm talking about a balls to the wall style of cylinder head, but then, what block are you going to put it on?
