Making Aluminum Heads Legal for all SuperStockers

Hell why we are at it lets give everyone a Holley 1150. You people are just flat stupid (***** clowns and Jackoffs apply in this case). Sorry the truth needs to be told sometimes.

If you want all that kind of crap on you make believe STK or SS car run IHRA crate motor of some IHRA alphabet class.

Mopar Steve; if you run Super Stock, than you would know that the cost isn't that high; as. What did your last set of iron heads cost you? Here is and example; I paid 300.00 for a pair of cores, then 5500 to have them done, not including hardware. I'll leave the cost of hardware out,because iron or steel the cost is the same. The heads were killer, but after three seasons, a water leak developed on one of the exhaust ports. I talked to the Head porter, and he said he could fit it, sent the heads back; he calls me and says won't cost more than 2500 to fix and redo intake ports and touch them up. Send him the 2500.00, calls me back two weeks later an said that he made a mistake; that it is going to cost 4100.00. Get the heads back and find hair line cracks running from 4 of the intake valves to the exhaust valves. Call him and he says that happened when they put in the seats, but they where pressure checked and don't leak. Put the heads on the motor and go to a race, on first pass car runs like sh-t , in shut down area I get out and look to what happen; guess what is running out of the header. So you tell me where is there a cost savings in theiron head over the aluminum. The aluminum heads can be repaired at a much cheaper cost than the iron heads; therefore they should last longer and the overall cost is cheaper.

X-TECH MAN take a look in the edelbrock makes aluminum heads for almost every make AMC,BUICK,MOPAR, etc. NHRA has already approved heads from edelbrock now, so approving the rest wouldn't be that hard.

Treessavoy. take a look at the edelbrock website and find me a combination that isn't covered. As for not making a head for every combo, look at what they did with the Big Block Chevy. They use one head to fit multiple combos by changing valve sizes and combustion chamber sizes. So your argument doesn't hold water.

Without looking .....1962/3 Max Wedge, 1964 Max Wedge so I'll just keep holding that water!

After spending over $4000 to repair one head for a SBC 255 hp motor, I vote YES
