this head would flow right with a pso,,, just depends on how big the ports are in each,, but with the same flow id bet the brewer would make more power because the intake port is raised higher,, better approach to the cylinder,, its better for the inertia effect on the cylinder while filling in the compression stroke..
brodix aluminum is known for not being good,, some guys wont use a brodix on power cars no matter what,,, mike moran has told me some horror stories,, ive seen many brodix heads that seemed fine new then turned to mush after running awhile.
you can also bolt on a 440-1 header to the brewer,, makes it easier to get the motor in cars,, and header availability is better for guys that do not have a custom header shop in their area

Wow..I didnt know...
I passed on a set of these once cause I just didnt feel I knew enough about them etc..I assume only sheet metal intakes was used? Was there ever a cast intake produced?

anyone know what happened to the casting cores?
I heard a few years back that Fred was selling the casting cores. I still dont know why some one does'nt bring these heads back. They are simply the best wedge head ever made.

weren't they based off the AMC pro stock head of years ago? i thought they themselves had casting issues. iirc not all that long ago there was a thread here saying the casting cores were still in existence 
According to Senatores book, the Brewer is "very similar to the 1970 AMC pro stock head"..so maybe thats where Fred got his design.

there's a cast intake for low decks similar to a B1 and can be used for RB with spacers.
the chamber is only 62 cc so dish pistons may have to be used.
I dont have any pix of the heads per se..just conplete motors with FBS heads. Senator has a comparo pic in his book next to a B1..the Brewer is taller and has fatter/higher ports like a PSO.

I used to do a lot of porting years ago and always thought Brodix stuff was a pita to port because of the poor quality of the castings, they made good power but I wondered about the foundry process. I tried to relate to plastic injection molding where you could always tell the percentage of reclaim pellets coming through the screw versus virgin pellets. The reclaim was so much harder to contend with.

I thought I just saw a set of these for sale in the race section ??? or maybe it was zeekers ?? ?
You probably saw both. You can find Brewers on Racing junk too once in a while.

Nice Numbers..
I thought they would flow well at .900
They were ahead of their time when cast too bad it did not work out for Fred. Casting and Machining issues and not enough sales killed it.
