New Head for SBC in SS

Dwight Southerland · 12-02-2007, 09:13 AM

Seems there is yet another accepted replacement head for early SBC engines in SS. Look at the class guide.

% = RHS Cast Iron heads # 12400 & 12402 accepted as replacement head
These heads may be used in SS only, not Stock

I had a Comp Rep tell me that several months ago it was going to happen. That might be a case of what they give Dart & World they need to give to RHS. Or could it be a racer driven issue where Comp/RHS will provide a better head than the others? If anyone want these RHS heads please keep in mind I'm a Comp/RHS W/D & I will provide them at a good discount. adgersperf@aol.com
