Re: Canadian Weiand heads
Yes, we used them when we started racing, because the ruls said the engines had to look stock. We could bore 1/8 over, stock crank and valves. any cam. To keep the cost down. No body or suspension modifications. This became a plan for cheating, and most of us did. After 8 years, the only thing that remained the same was the 1/8 over bore and stock valves. cars were full modified and a ne rule required all cars to be over 2400 lbs. When I first got to the track lap times aer 22 secs, when they went to OHV engines the Flatheads were doing it in 16 secs. the quicker lap times had little to do with Horsepower, it all came from suspension systems and tires.
