Re: Anyone run a Lion Head
40 Deluxe
I am sure that your cars drive amazing but the more I think about it the look is just a bit to modern for me. I know about the Snyder 5.5.1 and the 6.1 but does anyone else make a good stock looking high compression head? Thanks Ron |

Re: Anyone run a Lion Head
Here's his member page, you can send him an email. He makes the Snyder's heads and has been talking about doing stock heads in other CRs, so you should check with him to see what the status is on that.

Re: Anyone run a Lion Head
Tod Buttermore makes a 7:1 stock looking head, along with several others that don't look stock.

Re: Anyone run a Lion Head
Is Tod Buttermore the same Tod that makes the Snyder Head?

Re: Anyone run a Lion Head
I think we may be using different definitions of "stock." There's stock in the sense of indistinguishable from the factory part, and then there's stock in the sense of the proper aesthetic, something that looks "normal." You could make a 7:1 head look right to the untrained eye.

Re: Anyone run a Lion Head
Something to think about on compression. Picture this: You and your buddy both have '30 coupes, and are driving side-by-side down the road. His is totally stock, yours has an 8:1 head, twin 97's, modern ignition, touring cam, etc. Under the above circumstances, both are obviously using the same amount of power, as the speed and wind resistance are the same. So ... the cylinder pressure is the same on both engines, ergo, the higher compression has no detrimental affect on the engine. The difference is you are getting better fuel mileage because your engine is more efficient. So the question is, why are Model A guys afraid of compression???
