Yo Lynn, have you guys got them approved for those bogus ultra charity 428's yet ?

Racing any of those three heads-up is never an easy task, all are bad fast!

I read that in awe of the radical stuff done and the great results. Since those heads are almost a copy of my beloved Ford FE Tunnel Ports and a Pontiac engine is quite similar dimensions some of those ideas apply to me. The offset bore spacing is something i've only seen done once before by Jay Brown with his 4.5" bore 585" Ford SOHC he ran at Hot Rod's Drag Week several years ago. The squared intake ports and radical offset rockers are wild.

lmao@alex You mean like the bogus 428CJ who started this whole alum headed game and the fictitious 520 lift cam nonsense? I ran 69 428 SCJ and Marty Barrett--who bar none knew Fords better than anyone--said 481/490 lift. The off road cam would never be allowed, of course that was before scanners and delete buttons for the "off road" part. :-)

Pontiac guys were slow to the game, but when we decide to play we play to win. Hats off to them!

Oh! BTW we obliterated the record (again) for NA horsepower. Now we will see what the 416 makes. 4.40 bore 3.4 stroke. Man o man Mike Trumble's car at Tulsa was a bad a*& hombre!
