ALERT!! SOUND THE ALARM!!..

If I recall I bought my Speedmaster heads around September 10th last year on their 30% off sale... Just trying to keep my eyes open here in case they have their sale again the same time this year...
Still thinking about one of their manifolds for a magnum project...


My son in Colorado is picking up a 727 transmission today and may look at a.030 (360) shortblock. I told him I will port him a set of Speedmaster heads if we get a set on sale. Maybe look into that intake manifold too so I can match that up for him.

it's funny you say that because when I think about that intake manifold I think about doing a magnum swap for my son in Colorado LOL...

This is killing me being this far away. The guy wanted 300.00 for a rusty looking 727 that he showed me on FaceTime. I said heck no and the guy sold it to him for 100.00. He did get a new Hughes converter that lists for 430.00 on Jegs for 100.00 and an engine stand for 25.00.

I thought I remember seeing one here for sale not too long ago. Not sure what the guy was asking for it though.

Has anyone actually run the Speedmaster manifold? Does anyone have any time slips or dyno runs?

From what I've seen, the ports are small (318 sized). So if you're a capable porter, it should be a decent setup once worked over.
 
Oops

I know @318willrun has used one successfully I think... But side by side comparisons what Time Slips or dyno runs you might need to pick up a magazine for something like that...

Yes I've seen heads and intake manifolds on this site for sale at a marked up price from the sale price on Speedmaster. I'll just wait for Speedmaster to have a sale again...

I have been running the Speedmaster intake manifold (and heads) on the Dart this year. I made too many changes for the time slips to be useful. My best guess the intake is a rough equivalent to the Performer RPM I replaced. I do however, no longer have issues with fuel boiling in the carb on hot days. That alone made the swap worth it.

Plus one for drivability...:thumbsup:...
 
It's just Speedmaster, I see no need to sound the alarm. lol :lol:

When you can get fully assembled ready to run out of the box aluminum heads for seven or eight hundred dollars sent to your front door there's reason for alarm....
When you can buy intake manifolds for $135 and then wait a few months and sell them for 185 plus shipping that's a good deal or when you can buy heads for $700 and sell them for a thousand plus shipping a few months later that's even a better deal.... I've seen it done all this last year on this forum...

For those interested, this is what the Speedmaster mani looks like on the engine.
 
I remember I bought my head's in September I think it was around the 10th or the 13th. They just started it 30% off sale. Doesn't look like it's happening this year...
 
If they do a similar Black Friday deal this year, I will buy another set for future use on my Barracuda.
 
If everything works out, should be running this week.
