If I ever win the lottery you guys will be doing some 13° sbc heads for me with a custom billet efi intake manifold. Awesome what you guys are doing with the old 1954 design sbc 4.4 bore spacing heads

Why do you have the rocker bar under the rockers? Why not CNC the head to accept the rockers then make a rocker bed plate that bolts over the top and is also girdled to the cover rail with even more extra bolts?

[@connorharris1629]

Do you guys do the cam for a heads/intake package?

[@THUNDERSTRUCKRACING70]

Do you have the billet heads available for a 5in bore space SBC ? It be for a twin turbo 427cid to 450cid SBC On alcohol.

I saw on his website he has 5" SBC heads can't remember if they're billet though. But a HIP casting is just as strong though. If he doesn't do billet and you must have billet try Vizner or Noonan.

Just wondering. With these intakes being so tall and straight shots. Why not completely straighten the runners and run a split dominator?

I wish someone would make a nice set of cast Ford 4v mod motor heads. Probably not enough demand to be viable, that's why there is zero aftermarket 4v mod heads on the market. We can dream though :)

I hear ya. But we're not locked into casting today: once a cnc design program is in hand, the only thing needed on the shelf is billet. Foundry work will still have its place to make the popular cheap [my wallet does like it], but one shelf of billet takes the place of a dozen loaded with cast parts. Let me tell you... dead stock isn't free: it adds to the cost of everything else a supplier moves. Also, no crystal ball is needed ahead of time regarding what models may move in a given year.

Modular Ford engines aren't popular due to the stroke to bore ratio. Notice how most popular drag style engines have massive bores like SBC and LS aftermarket blocks which have a 4.180" bore. This is because you get more valve area. But down here in Australia a guy was running into the 6's with a modular factory block, maybe look him up and shoot him an email.

great looking product. love to see some CNC work and other behind the scenes
