Yes I have. I shipped some MP cast iron heads to MCH for CNC porting a number of years ago. I dropped the heads with valves, springs, retainers, etc. off at my engine builders shop a year ago and Robert was carrying one into his shop and his first comment was that I needed aluminum heads. Bob at MCH has my aluminum heads for a SS porting treatment. I've been waiting for about 9 months and wonder what the gestation period is for SS Hemi heads? Anyway, NHRA has changed the HP on the 1964 Hemi's and the Street Hemi's. It was the same HP prior to 1/1/17. I thought maybe someone went out and ran fast to get the hit. I guess that is not the case.
