I hope you find it, it would be cool to see in a race car. I remember Monte talking about putting a screw blower on it, as it was going to be the only way the combo would be competitive at the time.
Best of luck

Ok. I tried all of the people you mentioned with no luck. Does anyone have a phone number to Chad Henderson? I talk to Gary French a while back and he didn’t know where the stuff went.
Facebook ? Or try Henderson farm in Alabama ? He is some kind of farmer

Ok, I'll ask, How hard is it or what is involved to put those type heads on the chevy short block? Can any head be done like this or only these heads? Just curious, dont beat me up.

It’s not really a chevy block, its a wayne county speedshop block. 😂at least thats what the plan was when mp was selling them. Not a standard mopar bore space.

Not necessarily,, the B1 pro block or Phoenix block was the one Wayne County used. Years ago we had a Big Chevy block in the shop that the B1 TS heads would bolt to,,cant remember who made it ? but it was a BB Chevy block. The head bolt spacing might of been different for the TS heads.

Monte's engine has a block that Donovan did for him, from memory it was a solid block as well. So it may be based on a BBC casting

It was a Short Deck Donovan Solid BBC Block that was partially machined, no Lifter bores etc.... If memory serves, LSM Engineering in Michigan did the machine work for mounting the Heads to the Block and Lifter Bores. I believe Mike from Muscle Motors had a hand in it as well. Exactly. I had just started working at M.M. when that project was going on. Then I was at PTC a little while back and Kenny and I was talking about the history of the motor.
