Just in case Pat ,Ben,Wesley or Travis are reading this.... To maybe save a needless tear down. Both cars have the correct casting number heads. Just sayin.

Mike, we meet at Numidia this summer and I have no doubt that both you are Gary are 100% legal. I think it’s a raw deal, and feel bad for what Gary went through.

Re: Mike Graham/Gary Summers
 

So you are saying he was thrown out with a casting number of D7OE-DA?

Re: Mike Graham/Gary Summers
 

No I’m pretty sure he is saying both the DA and the DC head should be listed.. no reason the DC head was removed when the DA head was added..

Re: Mike Graham/Gary Summers
 

Same head, different suffix..
looks like a paper work screw up to me.

Wonder what RJ Sledge has to say about it?

Re: Mike Graham/Gary Summers
 

What I was saying was that both cars that I am associated with have the DA head. That is the head that is listed in the blueprint spec,so by definition , it is the correct head. The takeaway should be to check the blueprint spec before you build a new combination. That is what you will be held to in teardown.

Re: Mike Graham/Gary Summers
 

My take on this the part numbers supplied to nhra need to be updated .... in my experience as an engine design engineer the suffix change usually is production tool related not base design / performance driven

Re: Mike Graham/Gary Summers
 

I heard from a reliable source it was for altering the intake casting number, and booster modifications, not the head at all.

Re: Mike Graham/Gary Summers
 

That could explain why an intake and carburator was seen being carried into the tech trailer.
