Its not that hard, is it still complete? Well yes I guess. Not sure if it has been apart or not. I was told it was original. Trying to verify. Where they based on 318's or 340TA or standard 340 blocks? What type of heads? Numbers? Any stamping s or castings that I need to look for?

Notice the W2 style rockers, stands, ect but in 71. I see but obviously not W2 as it was not released until 74 or 76. Nor does it have the W@ oval ports. 273 adjustable arms or just aftermarket?

When Ma Mopar pulled the plug on the 1971 Trans Am program John Dianna went to KB and got all of the existing inventory on heads and blocks left He helped develop the original W2 heads from the OEM stock 916 TA castings, Ed Hamburger was his counterpart on the east coast on the SB drag race program. A friend of mine ended up with the last set of Johns TA heads that had been welded up and ported to the W2 heads along with a tunnel ram and 660 center squirters carbs that John Bauman had done for John Deanna Not sure if he still has them or not
Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
