Stop in for a cup of coffee

Burnt valve I am pretty sure on #2 right where I cant get a leak down tester in. Ring gear probably cracked when it was kicking back on the hot start issues I was having a few years ago, Scope definately shows compression loss. Crap heads anyhow want to get some 906 or better yet 440 source heads. Never enough $$$ for that right now. Dog is still up in the air, she has been ok and finally getting Gravel to lay the container down. Dam it is hard to even get that delivered now!

Well I recommend you ditch the 440 source head idea. There’s a better option for the same price. Todd Marsh out of North Carolina makes and sells what he calls Sidewinder Heads. They flow comparable to the Edlebrock performer RPM heads that I have. And in some areas, out flow them.

Now, just like 440 source, the base casting is from overseas, it’s not China but I forget where. Todd takes each of the raw blocks and CNC mills and ports them out. Does all the work. I spent about 4 hours on the phone during 2020 as he was shut down for covid, listening to him walk me thru how he does it.

He then custom builds out with whatever brand or type valves, springs etc for your exact combo.

All for the same or very close to the same, 440 source cost and half the cost of the Edlebrock RPM heads. Infact, I wish I’d stuck by my original plan of getting a set of his. Even though the deal from Mopar Tim was great, I’m still gonna be in for nearly twice the Sidewinder head costs.
