Thinking outside the box
>>>>>Hey dedman you don't know what the hell your talking about and if it's just a ***** about wanting better heads for cheap, you're going about it the wrong way..
I don't????
At the bottom of this message is a copy of the November 28 issue of National DRAGSTER's Stock class records page.
Look at where it says "G Stock," please...
What does it say???
It says "MINIMUM." There IS no record. The old record, held by Rod Green , was retired on 11/3... something you somehow missed because you would rather get dated information from an old National DRAGSTER that you picked up for free at Pomona, than subscribe and keep up-to-date on what's going on.
The next time you tell somebody they don't know what the Hell they're talking about, I'd suggest you find out the facts so you don't look so... uninformed.
>>>>>The last national dragster I picked up at pomona says......
G/S 10.98 @121.12 ROD GREEN DUNLOP TN. 72' DODGE DEMON.
Thats G/S, get it?????
Your information is O-L-D.... Obsolete. Get it??????????
>>>>>06' LS7 bore & stroke= 4.125/ 4.00, ok?
Escalame 07' & later=4.065/ 3.622 , yea I know and was referring to the above.
I still don't have a clue as to what your reason was for talking about the stroke on a GM motor. It sure didn't pertain to the "tall port" small block Mopar heads I am trying to promote.
>>>>>OH and I guess your right about the nhra rating, it isn't 325, it's 328 knuckle head=70 340 barracuda.
See you said the 71' 350 was rated higher then any sb mopar, WRONG.

I was under the impression that you'd be smart enough not to attempt to compare a single four barrel Chevy to a multiple carburetion Mopar. That 290 hp motor is the six-pack 340, and not a direct comparison to a single 4bbl Chevy motor. Apples and oranges... What I said still stands; the 314HP single 4bbl 340 (1971) is the highest rated small block Mopar (exclusive of the six-pack), while the single 4bbl Camaro (OEM rating of 295hp) 350 carries a factor of 325hp.
It's true.
>>>>>And you still don't answer my question about wether the lq9 heads will bolt to a 350, which is a fair comparison being they came out around the same time and 350's were even made longer then the 340 meaning they had more development and their head design was out longer also.
No, they won't bolt onto ANY other Chevy small block, including the LT-1.
Why do you even ask? Again, that has nothing to do with the tall port L-A/Magnum heads I'm talking about trying to get made. I was just using those heads as an example of what can be done flow-wise, with a true wedge (non canted-valve) small block head, like an L-A or Magnum. What they will or will not bolt onto is of no interest, here.
>>>>>How much are those chevy heads new?
I'm sure they are over $2000 which is all it wold cost to bolt on w2's or ported eddy's that flow the #'s you speak.
No, they are exceedingly CHEAP... something like $800 a pair in aluminum... Car Craft did an article on them (the Escalade head) and raved about how unbelieveably CHEAP they were. That price was with valves and springs; ready to bolt on. But, who cares; I don't need 'em... I have a 360.
>>>>>There are ways which manufactures compete HP wise and you can bet that chrysler aint competing with a 40old dinosaur motor [which still kicks ***] Instead they are using technology =NEW HEMI
Buck up for w2's,eddys,Indy's &....Quit bitching.lol
#1. I don't CARE what Chrysler is doing to compete with GM horsepower wise; I know what ~I~ am doing (and, it's belt-driven.) But to just say, "Buck up for W-2's, etc." is to abandon the spirit of hot rodding, which said, always try to find a better way (and, cheaper, if possible) to achieve the goals you've set for yourself.
I think a tall port, cast iron L-A/Magnum head could be the answer to the affordable 300+cfm intake flow cylinder head.
You said, "if it's just a ***** about wanting better heads for cheap, you're going about it the wrong way."
How would you do it???????
