The offer stands. I head to the US with my car on Occasion, probably Carlise next year. If your there, stop by, I always have cold beer on tap. I'll take you for a ride.

According to one of the first press releases,,,,,
it was determined that the Alcoa-produced Aluminum Cylinder Heads
would not be installed on the A-Body Race Hemi's.

The high cost of producing the cylinder heads, was not worth
the weight saving of 70 lbs.

That's how Corning Glass Co. got involved.

Great photos. Most are back when the SS Hemis were REAL super stockers.
