Thinking outside the box
AA....
If I thought Mopars were too expensive, I wouldn't have built one.
Having said that, I will say that in the automotive world, there's always room for improvement, and that is just what I am suggesting; an improved L-A/Magnum head that can flow right up there with GM's latest effort without breaking the bank.
There's no reason a taller-port, cast iron head can't be made, if EQ can cast these greatly-improved versions of the R-T head (or, whatever they are.) They are a lot better than a stock Magnum head, but not better than a ported set of Edelbrock aluminum heads, but they COULD have been, if they'd raised the port roof about .75" and modified an existing manifold design to match the ports. Why go halfway???
If there's something wrong with wanting that, I wish somebody would tell me what it is. I don't see anything but positives....
