18* sbc steel heads

[perfconn]

I've built many sets of the Dart Iron Eagles and Platinums and the most I could ever get out of them was 20* and that was by angle milling them down past the intake valve seats and puting in new intake seats.The heads that Kenny Compton won the $10,000 race at Green Valley with were only 19 1/2* but they were RHS Raised Runners.Never seen any steel heads that checked 19*.

there's actually 4 or 5 tracks in the same gen area as Boyd's that could run 18 degree steel heads the kicker would be the heads allowed on some but others just say 23 degree style heads may be angled milled I think cost effectiveness would be a factor in some of the classes but prob not as much as others

[perfconn]

They would be 23* style heads.They would use 23* intake and 23* headers.Valves and rockers would be 18*.

So your thinking something along the lines of the Brodix 18x head where you can re use a lot of the 23* valvetrain stuff...??

[perfconn]

Actually would be the RHS raised runner steel head only would end up with an 18* valve angle.

[Chico]

I know there are a lot of variables but what kind of ballpark fig do you have in mind

[perfconn]

Depends on other head rules that may have to be met.Ported and covered up,not ported,with intake or without,titanium valves or stainless? Roughly a ported set that would be close to 245cc intake runners and 40cc chambers bare would be about $3000.00 but thats just a close guess.

thanks for the reply I've already built this yr but am tryin to move up a notch in performance for the next motor Thanks again

[perfconn]

It would not be a cheap motor because of all the custom machine work and needing custom pistons but it would be one bad a$$ steelhead engine.

[racin6mod]

it would be a good idea for a ump e-mod class,but after having a race series announce new rules after I talked to them about a product that I spent all winter designing and testing I'll tell you it might be better to just have them made and sell as fast as possible before rule changes kill your product.people will always bitch and try to keep others from doing something they can not.

[perfconn]

Soon as I sell the 21* engine I'm working on I'll do a set(probably 4or 5 weeks) and see if they sell.

I have a set of heads at HVH being ported.If interested,give me a couple of weeks and shoot me an e-mail at terry.marciaburnett@gmail.com
