Default What High Compression head do you use? Poll

Here are 6 choices I can think of for this poll. You can select more than one.

I don't know how i forgot Snyders, just put it under others as I cannot edit the actual poll.

Mike, I would include the Snyder's head too, as it seems quite a few people are using this. I have a SNyder's I bought back in 2005 when it was 6months+ leadtime for one of Larry's 5.9 heads, but then found it wouldn't work (pistons interefered with Snyder's original-bore compression chamber diameter), so got one from Brumfield after all.

A big percentage of Brumfield Head customers have passed away! After all, it's been 24 years (1986) and most were older men. I can name many of them personally. If their cars have been sold, however, those B-F Heads are out there someplace.

I'm not giving up either of my B-F heads for a minor inconvenience like croaking.

Larry, how can I identify your heads? I have a head and it might be one of yours.

Let us not forget Dan Price who is included in the "Other" column of this poll. He produced and sold a TRAIN LOAD of his "Dan Price Reproduction Thomas Head." He also made other heads. His heads were in all the catalogs. He was my main competitor for years!
