Eric I’m not questioning your integrity and your hard work speaks for itself but parts that are on the manufacturer excepted product list must be available to everyone as the are made to keep a even playing field. Jeff Dona

I think where people are missing this is Jones Engine Development is listed as the manufacturer. NHRA has on file the name of the foundry that casts the heads. This is what is referred to as "private label manufacturing". This works the same as the following.

GM Performance parts replacement heads are cast in a foundry in San Jacinto Ca that is not owned by GM. They are then machined to GM specs and sold as a GM part.

Mopar Performance heads are cast in the same foundry and follow the same procedure.

Mine are cast in a foundry in south gate and I machine the to follow what NHRA will accept.

Pistons Forgings are made by a Forge in Montebello Ca and sold to various piston manufactures as their forging, the same way that i do my replacement pistons.

This list of accepted products pretty much follows this same idea. 90% of the acceptance process is the machining operations and not the raw material. My heads are available to anyone who wants to buy them as approved by NHRA, this is exactly how the rest of the industry does it. I have to follow the same procedures as all of the companies on the accepted products list and sell them exactly how they were approved.

I am hesitant to mention this because it was before you guys were born. I worked at King Engingines in Detroit racing my GT 3 car .. Bill developed a way to covert to angle plugs on SBCs. There was an article in Car Craft in 1970 about the process .. This is not new .. It was not an NHRA deal .. It was for circle track but the conversion was identicle .. It made more HP .. He sold many sets .. Good luck with this. .. Ron

My dealings with Erik Jones have been good, everything he did checked within .2 of a cc of numbers he said it would be. My micrometer and his agree within .0002". Mr. Jones is a creative, skilled, tenacious, craftsman, that does excellent work, and provides value for for the moneys spent!
