i know that edlebrock has a plant to cast their own heads, but
the metal is coming from china, and thats where the problem starts, its not as pure as the stuff that you would get from the now closed pittsburg steel plant that china put out of business 8) |

Plus alum mat'l cost 3 times more than steel, so they are trying to save money on the casting. Even the Chinese castings would be good if they would simply reduce the core size and build the deck and top side thicker. It's the almighty dollar savings, and hoping that no one will run the high spring pressures and the tall lift cams. If i had my way all the alum heads i run would be solid, but i run alcohol and don't have a cooling problem.

I like to keep my stuff neat. BUT taking a turd and putting someone on the trailer that has a high dollar paint job and such would be sorta fun too....like that FARM TRUCK with the dog in the front seat. :D That's just cool. NOT MY choice of a race car but it's still pretty cool.

I can't afford to take off work to go down there though..So It's sitting right now. He may run it some next year." Technically there isn't any bold face lies in that statement. It takes longer to say all that than it does for it to go down the track, so it would be sitting by the time I got done saying it. |

Keep making us jealous................ ashbros |
