Re: Big Boys Heads

I like those chambers . . . wished I owned a set of those heads! Anybody got a "spare set" that they're not going to use???

Re: Big Boys Heads

Come to think of it, I think we used pre-heat treated 7075 material.

I think the most painful part of the head project is that we did not have a mill big enough to put the block in and use the...

Re: Big Boys Heads

It is actually over the intake valve. I've not had the luxury of talking to the original designer, though Jerry Branch was pretty much one of the gurus of taking the factory KR design and making...

The better news is that if a 'Winter Project' happened to find a way to get going, I already have rough SolidWorks models to work from (though they are quite preliminary).

Re: Big Boys Heads

Re: Big Boys Heads

Are you talking about the guy that is working on a flathead block design? If so, I've communicated with him, but never met him. I'd love to see an aluminum block flathead that supports 3.5" bores,...

Re: Big Boys Heads

Thank you . . . they took a "team effort" to produce! Four of us were involved in this aspect of the FlatCad project. The good news is that I have all the SolidWorks 3D designs. ;)

Re: Big Boys Heads

Personally, I do not like the shape of these and see no need for the "extra" amount of water. They are just big and bulky to me. I have a set of Tony Baron's heads - my version is designed for a...
