What size engine for the online/Youtube EC?
@frosty_the_punk Do you plan to join in?
I am interested. Since I am building a 360 magnum anyway. but it wouldnt be competitive since it will be configured for boost.
It would somewhat depend on the required timeframe.
But as it stands the only decent heads I have are ported EQ's and I certainly have no interest in selling them just to replace them with an edelbrock or speedmaster of basically the exact same performance potential and value just to take part.
Here’s the beauty, you don’t need to. But it was lightly talked about earlier. It’s just a rule he put up.
That's true, I don't *need* to understand, but it appears as a contradiction to me.
From how thus thread reads, Originally the plan was factory heads only.
Then a consideration was made that went something along the lines of "ported factory iron has sweet ****-all resale value, this is particularly a problem for shops. How about leting us use aftermarket heads so we can build something we could actually sell afterwards?"
So a change was made and edelbrocks and speedmasters are now in.
But still not permitting EQ/RHS heads despite having comparable value and performance potential to both the edelbrock and speedmaster
Presumably because the EQ/RHS are more work and less economical to port, and not available to purchase new.
....which also applies perfectly to factory iron heads, which are allowed.
Is this intended primarily for shops, or everyone?
I just purchased two sets of J heads. Correct, there not brand new.
Is this an issue? (Curious)
Not particularly an issue, but I think there's absolutely no downside to permitting entrants with EQ/RHS heads if we're already allowing fully ported edelbrocks and speedmasters as well as ported factory items.
EQ heads wwre essentially the go-to budget iron alternative to an edelbrock.until 2 years ago. There's quite a few out there.
They haven't made a factory magnum cylinder head in 21 years, or an LA in 30+
They are considered a stock replacement head right?
I think they were anyways.
They are most definitely considered a stock replacement. Even in circle track, as someone previously mentioned.
