#2 or 3 906 head? Please enlighten me. An avenue I'm looking at.

All the heads are great and done by Don Little usually. Just some perform a little better than others on a Dyno. You have your best (#1's) and so on. Hopefully Don Little can find room for me this spring to get a freshen up on them. I have to say coming from a 340/360 all my racing life. The 440 is way cool. I have to learn its ways. Lower RPM engine. I ran it at the end of the year thanks to Paul Wong and enjoyed it very much.

Re: horsepower welfare
 

Have you thought of using the aluminum heads?
I think I have 4-5 #1s, maybe 12 of the others. I can't see the difference but maybe on the flow bench I will. Love to have one that's been done to copy.

I think there were 3 different BB steel heads. The old 906 was one, and the last head , the unleaded seat heads, and later I think the stage 5 heads were made legal. Jim Hale bought all the stage 5 and probably still has some. I got a set from him for SS before the aluminum heads were there. Before that the heads had a big intake and small intake except for the 67 single 4 bbl which had the bigger exhaust. Billy,, do you honestly think anyone could make tech vary from the road they are on? We are all like bad kids who in reality want the teacher to whack our knuckles with a wooden Coca Cola ruller. But all too often the whackee gets mad and sues for tech abuse. I think lower the hp on all of em. You know the new cars aint getting no help, and they are a few select who need a little love, maybe some love and affection. Problem solved. And I have no idea where I dug all this up or why.

Not thinking much about Aluminum Heads. Am thinking about hanging up the helmet though.

Re: horsepower welfare
 

Of course I do. They can be bought and sold just like politicians. They're human.

Mr. Jeff, you're old but you're not THAT old. You can surely remember the little angels in class who always sucked up to the teacher, never got in trouble and always got what they wanted. I wasn't one of them, were you?

Re: horsepower welfare
 

Most of the sucking up was close to the suckee source so more suction was on them than other parts of the country.

Jeff & Billy, those were called Do Bees and the others were called Don't Bees. How many of you out there were Don't Bees.

I couldn't agree more!

Ron, I have no idea what you're talking about. I know nothing about "apiculture".
