Re: Jones Head - Racers Only
I wonder, If these heads that Eric wants to produce for SS, were made and sold by an Edelbrock, or another manufacture, would there be such an uproar?
SS & "STOCK" are both so far removed and advanced from the original intent of the rules already, I can't help but think that these castings wouldn't save you a couple of bucks in the long run. Just my opinion.

Re: Jones Head - Racers Only
I'm sorry to hear this. I was really looking forward to playing with these heads and not have to weld and have epoxy in them.

Re: Jones Head - Racers Only
Just a thought?????
Maybe its time to separate "Replacement" vs "Aftermarket" heads. Steel "as-cast" become head numbers in the build sheet and the Aftermarket heads "Alum and Pro-port" style stay with a HP penalty? |

Re: Jones Head - Racers Only
It's a very disappointing 2018 Year of racing and was looking forward to the 2019 racing Year. TinSoldier SS/JA.

Re: Jones Head - Racers Only
Not trying to hijack anything. The implication was made that finding OEM heads in junkyards and spending a fortune to convert them to "race heads" is stupid. It is, but unfortunately, those are also the rules. My comment was meant to illustrate that. If Super Stock goes one step further, we will have aftermarket everything (i.e. blocks, cranks, rods, pistons, camshafts, lifters, cylinder heads, valves, valve springs, rocker arms, pushrods, carburetors, fuel injection systems, etc.). Will it still even be Super Stock, or just some one-off subset of Comp? Don't know how old you are, but I was around in the days when a smart, hardworking guy could build an entire car for the price of a short block today. That's why the .90 classes are full and Super Stock is slowly dying. And it's easy for the keyboard tough-guys to say "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen", but they won't be so tough when the category is gone. My comments are as valid as yours, so don't tell me what's appreciated or needed and what isn't.

Re: Jones Head - Racers Only
You did make your point on the rules. Mike Lyons GT/JA 5727. And I guess I should be polite enough to say "...so please don't tell me what is appreciated or needed and what isn't". You were a gentleman and said "Thank you" at the end of your post, and I should be the same.
