Thats the latest M1 head. They were in the Mopar catalog 3 months before they were out. I guess no one reads the catalog…

Mine came from a Chrysler dealer. I'm sure David will sell anyone a set.

I've sat back and watched this nonsense without saying a word, even though it affects some of my customers and myself. I figured that NHRA would rule in favor of preserving the car count, which they have, almost. As many of you know, I've been playing this game for a while. Now I find out that my combination will suffer the collateral damage as a result of a few cry babies not being able to keep their pie hole shut.
I've been using cylinder heads with the valve cover attaching holes blown through for twenty years, been through tear down dozens of times, never a problem because the tech guys knew the compound angle issue on a hemi and as long as the important stuff was right, there was no problem. Clutchless gearboxes, lifter angle's changed, lifter positions moved welded ports, moved port positions sheetmetal tunnel rams, and on and on. So now we are going to worry about a how much of an original1/4 bolt hole remains, and rat out each other based on who can skate that rule the best?
Look at the rest of your bogus car before you start this kind of crap, I have. The first time I have a problem because of this silliness, I will point it out to the proper officials. You shouldn't start this kind of stuff unless either your own program is 100% legit or your racing with a bunch of idiots. Trust me, you're wrong on both counts.

Right on Tom!! I remember thinking the same thing at the time. I bet a lot of those "unported" heads migrated to stock eliminator..
