I wasn't sure if the epoxy would hold up, is that Z Spar 788 (aka Green Death)?

I was told it was toxic when porting and that was where the name came from.

I take it the iron head has more material than the aluminum, if not, then why is the iron head better or are there "rules" for the A/ND cars that stipulate iron heads only?

Those ports have some SERIOUS volume, and I see the outside walll is into the intake bolt holes, that's nuts! Just how big is the MCSA?

How many cubes did the 195+ A/ND car have?


I have seen a set of aluminum heads and spider intake on eBay for years. They haven't been back on for a while, so I don't know if they actually sold or not, but the guy was asking around $5K IIRC.


Thanks,
Cole

A/ND is a iron head and zommie headers, PG, injected, only class.

The min CSA is 3.22in² at the throat

The engine is 380cid.

BTW, Meaux is the A/ND, iron, God.. I just got lucky. :)

wonder if a SB2 style head bolt , or some way to get the head bolt out of the way between the rockers , and just move the stud inline with the pushrod and valve ,, if that would work

i wonder if a shoulder could be cut from the underneath , and place a bolt there for that head bolt ,, allen type , make a tool to get at it , ,, then you could put the intake stud where you wanted ,,, looks like a stud girdle could be used then ,,, with a regular style rocker ,,, might be alot just to get rid of shaft rockers , ,, it does look like a offset shaft rocker for this would be under alot of strain from being so offset

if you had it cast with a counter sunk hole ,, for an allen head bolt , then a plug in the port floor , then a hole in the top just big enough to extend a long reach allen head down to the bolt head ,, ,, thinking out loud ,,, sorry ,,

Thanks! All 150 hours of it! :)

They do have an aluminum core box. I have one, new RHS casting. The last I heard is they still didn't have a place to cast it.
