Tim's stuff is really awesome. Note he has an option that eliminates the standard gaskets by leaving .060 more on the intake flange side, and there are other things he does to them. And as I mentioned before, everything has to match to make it work....He has a whole combo on his site for a pro-street 572 and bigger.....Check it out. He seems to have it down and a lot of guys like his stuff. He uses a different set of keepers and valves than a typical Hemi as well. All his stuff is pretty well sorted out. Pick one of the builders and get all your parts from one source so you know it matches up.
471 flow is a really good starting point for a big engine with a lot of cam, most of us are in that range or a little less. My heads flowed 458 or so.

I love the FHO stuff. I love Stage V. But the Victor Jr's are such a good value. Slap 'em on and get 800HP. Why bother with the other stuff? What a good time to be a Hemi guy.

Tim has a passion building heads and started at Entec in Toronto before he started doing mostly Hemi Iron and Stage V Hemi Heads in his own shop. His program on the Stage V CNC is real nice. I have dealt with him since the seventies well before it was called FHO. Every one of the guys that races NSS in my area has FHO heads on their motor, most are 604s a few 572s. Tim will talk on the phone and that is nice. Good luck on your build research everything and them go back and talk to Tim.

He helped me a bunch for sure and opened my eyes about the BM aluminum block. Can you elaborate on what was discussed about the BM block? I'm in the market for a block as well and trying to get as much info as possible. If I could just pick up the phone and order a KB block and get it in a reasonable time, I would. Last I heard, that is not the case.

I know that they had growing pains with the whole KB deal. I hope the get it straightened out before we all run out of this money that seems to be floating around right now. Ray Barton sure shed some light on the last block thread.

FHO stage V heads look great! I hope they work great, getting ready to turn the key in ~1 month. Just FYI, the exhaust ports are wide and raised relative to stock. They do not fit stock type headers without work. Also, the accessory drive mounts do not match OEM. Finally, depending on the intake you are using port match is a bear to achieve. In my case, I was trying to line up an Indy single plane and required more than I hoped. Good luck!
