small block heads, 4027596 casting # any good??

Not breaking your balls here but that of which I quoted is part of the problem and why you and Hysteric got/get flak. The way the post reads to the average guy is that he can do it easy and just whip parts on and to like Shelby said, “GLH!”

There is no information on the head other than this casting number that went 9’s. In the last thread of an amazing amount of BS that went FUBAR, the start of the thread was with stock as cast 302 heads. No trick work, just what the factory put out.

The extremely few people that can run a 9 w/302 heads should have at least a trick valve job right? And on a well sorted car I’d imagine. This is not what 99.9% of the board has or is willing to do. To be honest, I’d call it a fact that 90%+ of the guys here just want a hot street car without a big cam, compression etc… & a uktera light weight car.

Then there is sorting out a combo…. LOL

agree with everything you said. Few guys, very few guys, are good enough with heads to get a basic iron head like that with small valves to be effective enough to make the kinda of power that he was/ is able to make.
That was the point( i obviously didnt do a good enough job making)…when this guy puts his mind to it, the results are excellent. So when he spent two years perfecting a head, its gonna be worth having… most here dont know him, i do, so my perspective was different than others. I dont need the particulars to know its good.
At the end of the day, it isnt gonna be a mass produced head. I suspect those looking for that extra oomph, will be the ones that end up with them…others( most people) wont need them, so it will work out just fine.
