superstock hemi heads

SSDA Hemi · 11-24-2012, 05:02 PM

FJ, that is why the first call I made regarding this subject was to confirm that NHRA told John Gulius this was not allowed on a sbc…

Intake side of head may not be cut into ANY PART of valve cover bolt holes

Maybe "Any" means valve cover rail…(sarcasm)

I hope I'm wrong as I'll have 5 sets of heads I can use on my SS/DA and AH car and not have to spend money as I planned to do having a new set done to legal specs with the valve cover bolt un-exposed. The 5 sets are much, much better than the legal set on the SS/DA car right now.

But this fight is really between the two major Hemi Builders. I'm just in search of the truth as I like to push the rules right to the limit but not over...

Man, you can over-complicate this.

Best you look up the dimensions of a bolt, any bolt. It is the major diameter of the bolt (or threaded hole) that you can't cut into.

Yes, this started with the hemi heads, but it affects everybody. The Chevy heads are right there as far as being cut.....have been for years.

Simple rule .

I just don't get what is so hard to understand here.

SSDA Hemi · 11-25-2012, 02:58 PM

FJ, you just contradicted yourself with your two posts.

I was being sarcastic with my question as to what ANY PART means!

Alot of people don't understand whats really going on here. Next week after gainesville you may understand why Pizza Joe started this thread. And it wasn't on my behalf.

john i dont know if you know but i sold all my stuff the man who bought it will be down next week and if i have to i will make it right to him i wont turn my back on him no other reason for starting this thread but we will see in a few days anyway joe

Joe, yes I know that. I was hoping this thread died initially because this subject is something that needs to be settled behind closed doors with key people and not out in a public forum. I hope I'm wrong here and as I've stated, I'd rather find a solution for ALL than point fingers.

Chuck, I hope it rains down there and snows up here and the roads are impassible, LOL. I predict it could be ugly and am glad I'll be up north here!!

And, FJ, I was thinking your first post was stirring the pot. I realized since that you are not involved. I meant no disrespect to you and consider your chassis skills among the greatest out there.
