If they made the head's and it was not profitable how long do you think they would keep on making the head's ? Do you really think we would use enough head's to make it profitable for them ? It would go the way of the replacement Q-Jet's . You have to remember the Bean Counter's really run these companies . You are the last one that has anything to complain about . You already have a replacement head avaliable . Some of the Buick , Old's , Pontiac , AMC racer's do have a complaint .

Al, haven't you been paying attention; I said before go on to Edelbrocks' website an you will see that they already have 90% of the heads that we are talking about. Indy Cylinder Heads and some other manufacturers will fill the missing heads that are needed. Lets' face it sooner or later NHRA has to start allowing replacement heads and blocks into the mix, because the manufacturers in most cases don't make the parts any longer. Your leave it the way it is thinking, is the reason that the car manufacturers are in the shape that they are in today. You have to look at the big picture, not just the here and now. What do you propose be done as the supply of available parts are depleted and no new parts are being made to replace them?
