SBC SS/CS modified cylinder head availability?

chopperloco · 04-18-2025, 11:35 PM

I am aware of what heads are legal.
The 292 Turbo and Bow Tie Vortec are getting hard to find in good useable condition.
I have been keeping my eyes peeled for the allowable Darts but these seem rather rare too!
Has there been any talk of NHRA making another exception?
Or is it just me?
Thanks
Dom

The NHRA-approved Dart cylinder heads were discontinued in early 2023.

You will have to approach NHRA and submit a different cylinder head for approval.
I would suggest:

World Products 011150 Sportsman II
World Products 011250 Sportsman II
World Products 014150 Motown
World Products 014250 Motown
World Products 014150-50 Motown

Who is that? The smartest guy you will ever meet on SS/AS, SS/BS and
SS/CS classes. If you are building a SS/CS car, and Mike gives you any
help or direction, follow it to the letter of the law. He will never steer you
wrong. Get ahold of him c/o FAST SHOCKS.
