Well, this is probably not the right post to respond
to this.

Last week when we had class in Bakersfield, we put iron
heads on both our Stockers. The only thing the aluminum
heads do for us is take some weight of the nose of the cars.
Even with the 30 pounds off the car the Aluminum heads (We have
the best ones money can buy) slow the car down about 5 to 7
hundreds. Plus, they are very fussy about temp. and consistency.

But the "X" iron heads we have are too valuable and scarce to
run all the time. We will probably never find another set good
enough to turn into competitive stocker heads. I have destroyed
most all my good "X" heads over the last 50 some years. I look constantly
for them and often travel to the big automotive swap meet nearly every month
down in California.

Fortunately, we have three finished sets of top-quality Aluminum heads
as they are no longer produced and getting harder to find as
well. However, we have some hope of finding more as they are only
some years out of production = Not 50+ years and even back then
only a two-year production deal.
