What does it take?
Well the block has to be machined to accept the pushrods and the angles that they go at to the lifters. The rocker assembly is not the best stock so OldSStroker is designing a shaft mount setup like you would see on a hemi for them. The more I get into this project the more little things I find, intake manifold issues/tricks etc.... not to mention you can't even find these heads anymore.

I've followed this project in the shadows for some time. I'll be interested to see how it all comes together and what the curve looks like.
Any shots of the heads off the car by chance that you can share without giving away shop secrets.
E-mail if you don't want to post them would be great, nick@victoryracingengines.com

What does it take to get them up and running? If you were paying someone to do it I'd say a minimum of $20,000 plus parts! That, and the patience of Job. My hat is totally off to anyone with the commitment (or do I mean to commitable enough) to do this!

Seriously, Rich, sometime you, Unstable Bob, Bret and I have to get together for a good discussion of this. Hmmm...we're about half way between Somerset and Buffalo.

These are the heads that Bret has, a few years before they were handed to Bret. They came off an engine that was running, back in the late 90's, in Las Vegas, if I recall correctly:

Fred you left out the good pic....
FWIW those covers say that no more... why give credit to the guy that made these since he's not willing to help anyone with his product.
"Estimated completion time: 800 gazillion beers from today!!!"
