Someone needs to get Edelbrock to reproduce the Max Wedge heads and 383/440 heads ACCURATELY with the CORRECT valve size and C.C's in alum. (along with others) and get NHRA to approve them. Someone went out of their way to do the same for the 428 CJ Fords and 427 Ford FE Medium riser heads and NHRA deemed them legal replacements in STOCK and S/S in the past. The GM Alum head was made a legal replacement for STOCK and S/S even though the exhaust ports are wrong, the intake port is a cross between a square port and an oval port and they came with 11/32 stem valve guides which was a pain to make into 3/8 size. That material was hard as hell to cut or hone. I wont even mention the latest GM intake manifold for big blocks that was made a legal replacement with the plenum cut resembling the L88 intake (also known as the "Grumpy" modification.) So whats wrong with making it fair for the Mopar guys and the AMC, OLDS, BUICK, and Pontiac guys also? As far as you guys bitching about "rules changes" this has been going on for a LONG TIME for the Fords and GM big blocks.
