That's who it was. Clifford Research. Hope he's still alive. :-)

When you add pressurized air the head is no where near as important as naturally aspirated. Getting a cam profile that builds boost might be more of a challenge.

Actually, the heads are too big. way too much dead air. i don't know how to contact him but there was/is a guy out there that does comp stuff, Lump is the only name I remember that modifies those heads.

Brian Self from OK. Comp racer. His dad Glen Self raced an H/MP Camaro inliner in the 70s and had great success.

Kevin Self is Glens son. Currently runs comp. 580-924-5866

Brian (Lump) Self is Glenn's nephew, and Kevin's cousin.
I believe he now lives in the Houston area.

Glen Tredwell from Fla runs inline motors in comp also.

Correct. Brain fade.

You guys are a wealth of information, thank you.

I never see any 230's but 250's seem to run rampet. They'll take 307 pistons but I'll proabably have to have some made anyway to handle the boost.

Ed I would be interested in that head, they are usually very expensive and hard to find though.
