Anyone thought of using angle flow heads?

[ecksrash]

Just curious to know if anyone has thought of using angle flow heads in an oxy conversion???

[Stripped66]

Yep.

[ecksrash]

anyone done it?

Mark Herbert was working on doing it 11 years ago. The 4" angle flow pattern isn't the same as 4" wasser/autocraft. He bought heads undrilled and modded to fit.

Yes, I believe his brother Mike is working on an oxy. I talked to him in June and think he was leaning toward a JPM head though. I think for the money the angle flow would be a good compromise. I'm just concerned that the ability to live on the street would be the issue.

Unless you have a lead on a set of heads that are finished -which happen to be significantly cheaper than JPM's- I don't believe you are accounting for all the costs required to set up a set of AngleFlows. They are sold bare; no seats, guides, valves or springs. The intake ports, as cast in the most recent production run, are absolutely massive.

Ahhh a catch 22... What are a set of JPM heads gonna cost?

[Stripped66]

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $3500.
