What did you do 15-16 years ago with W2’s? Is that the set I called you about back in 2010-2011? Think you had them on your car if I remember correctly

Sorry to read of the Batten loss. A horrible thing.
Love it!
With rectangle ports... I think that is how most people see it.
Most people will say the W5 is a rectangle aluminum version of the W2.
IMO, A factory hp/light race head in aluminum and iron are the W2-5 set. As cast they more a good bit more air than a stock head.
The W-7-8-9 are race heads. Extra bolt bosses are a key. There own family if you wish to see it that way.
HAS ANYONE PORTED A W2 HEAD WITH MOPAR PERFORMANCE TEMPLETS
On the whole, and actual, I agree.The W5 head is a raised runner while the W2 is a standard port location. People may say the W5 is an aluminum W2 but it ain’t.
What parts? The raised port head had an intake from MP in 3 flavors. Single plane small port, large port & a tunnel Ram. A 4th, short lived dual plane *I think.*W5's were great heads but finding what you need to use them was always a problem with the raise ports.
Ramm,
What size valves are in those W2s, and are they going back on the same 371” motor? Do you remember what kind of numbers you got out of them after you ported them?
Nice!they went 285-286
Nice!
Would you recommend stepping up to a 2.08 valve in a larger cubic inch stroker combination?
At what point (or flow) would a 2.08/2.10 valve be worth it?

I can see that. A lot of work must have went into that intake with the port reshaping. With the W5 selection, they re-drilled the LA-M1 to fit which is fine enough for the street and light drags and then had the large port intake single plane for the single 4bbl. racing applications.Several years ago I looked at a R engine out of a roundy round dirt car. It had w-5 heads but had a W-2 intake with quiet a bit of welding done to it. I asked the owner about it and he said his engine guy liked the W-2 intake better.
I’d imagine that is also combined with what one is doing and how hard it is being pushed. Good answer to a good question for new to the W2 people.I would select a 400+ cube as a determining factor. It's just an arbitrary method and that's just my own thoughts. J.Rob

Could you clarify and expand on that?How would you go about utilizing W2s in a stock appearing application ?
Cam specs , intake porting etc ...
I have been following the FAST class racing on youtube and thinking aboutwhat itwould take to build a small block A-Body to be competetive.
