I dont think anyone ran anything but the mirror head in the PS Fords. FWIW the new current Mopar stuff is the symmetrical port stuff, seems to workbetter with EFI and 10,500 limit. Before that it was the asymmetrical stuff.

I ran the Mopar 99/06 stuff(which is identical) in a 68 Barracuda.

I think you guys are forgetting about Larry Morgan. His **** was fast but he didn’t have the bankroll to test

No one forgot about Larry. We're talking about fuel injection and Pro Stock, Larry didn't make that switch on his Ford program. He only ran it carbureted. To date, I believe Charlie Westcott is the only person to run a fuel injected Ford in 500" Pro Stock.

The Ford DRCE style head was never used, casting was too thin to be usable and never fixed.........

There were two designs of Ford Pro Stock cylinder heads built; the mirror port head and the sequential wedge head. Darin designed and built the sequential wedge cylinder head for the Ford Pro Stock class platform. The belief by many is that the new cylinder head would have given the Ford engines the power to run against the GM engines.

Darin and Ford submitted the head to Glendora for approval and after having the cylinder head in their possession for some time and sharing it with other teams and cylinder head builders, it was rejected.
Two prominent Pro Stock engine builders that I know also told me that many of the features of Ford's sequential wedge head were incorporated into the current version of GM's Pro Stock cylinder head.

I guess if you cant see competitive Fords in pro Stock then pull for the competitive Fords everywhere else in Drag Racing.....
