I have a set. The combo they sit on is a wooden shelf. Haven't gotten around using them yet.

Been looking for a set so I can join your club!

I had a few sets of the early W2's (back in like 78-or 9)...and I WISHED they were aluminum...does that get me honorary mention?

What are your intentions with this thing- street/strip or drag only? pump gas or race gas?
Either way I wouldn't be using that cast crank - how many times do you want to build it?
The large plenum M1 is not the hot ticket for 360 cubes and as mentioned a 950 would be a better choice.
If your wanting max power there can only be 1 choice- solid roller- how high do you want to spin it?

i would like to spin it to at least 7300 im thinking of a scat crank ? so u think the profrom 750 is too small??? plus i would like to get the most compression i can get out of the flat tops. it would be mostly used on the strip but car shows here and there ps race gas

Yes I think the 750 is too small...it will work but you'll be shorting yourself on power. Look at the post of my buildup- Ryan dyno'd mine with a 950 and 2 1050's and found 20 hp difference. Now I am temporarily running my old 825 Demon and it runs GREAT but is it down on power compared to what it should be? OH YEA!
Call the pro's on this board when your ready for a cam- you could get 50 different answers here and they all might be fine but you've got to pick somebody for that 1.

Even our somewhat mild iron MP headed 360 liked the 960 BG carb we threw on it. That combo set a best of 10.91/92's. One thing I'm not overly comfortable with (on the W5) is the stock block we had access to. We just plain ran out of funds for a race block so did the best with what we had. Our 340 block is filled and does have aftermarket steel caps (two bolt). We're hoping it lasts. we also left some hp on the table in the cam dept as we didn't want a high maint valve spring eater.

Yeah just getting a set of heads for free can be a death sentence for your bank account. By the time you port them, and build the rest of the package around them so you can take advantage of how they work, it can get a little expensive. If I remember correctly we have about 9k into our build....and that started with a set of $800 used heads that were on an ARCA car out of michigan. Not a huge amount in this arena, but pretty good for our standards.

I will have a pair for sale soon along with an intake, they are the " good" ones with the blue plug. They have never been used and come with valves.

Brian @ IMM (Ou812) could do good job for you in CA so you don't have to ship them cross Country. He is only one on west coast I'd recommend.

...our 5's went from Michigan to Arizona, to PA, to South Dakota, to PA, and back to SoDak. Should have got frequent flyer miles for them. Thanks again for a great set of heads Ryan. My dad is having a ball with that engine!
