    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    I got one but unfortunately paid more than $500 for it. :BangHead: At least my friend gave me the correct argent bezels for free. Seems like a decent quality reproduction part but what do I know. Presumably made in China.

    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    The fact is, a large majority of products made in China are made for American or Western-allied companies. China has the cheapest "skilled" labor in the world and is able to produce/provide material at lower costs. American companies design their products here and then have them produced there...

    NHL 23-24

    Rangers played the Isles and Flyers last two games and have looked like a team just playing out the string. Despite the lack of effort, we still have the best record in Hockey right now so I'm not concerned. No need to go all out and risk injuries before the playoffs.

    Sounds like new drag racing, donut circuses fines going up.

    Good. Stupidest **** ever. Hard to fathom how destroying your own car makes you cool but apparently it does. The worst are the subhumans who willingly get hit and go flying when the *** end whips around. Assholes. I agree it is absolutely frustrating when these intersection takeover things get...

    Mopowers' 66 Dart Build

    Yep, mine was wrinkled because I couldn't pull it tight enough to get the material hooked on the cleats front and back. It's not possible to install an OE-style perforated cloth headliner with the windows in. Not sure about the later '72-up cardboard ones. I remember laying upside-down with my...

    Mopowers' 66 Dart Build

    Nice job on all that. What lathe do you have? I’d like to get one and I look often but just haven’t followed through yet. Headliners are a PITA for sure, especially with a cage. I’m re-doing the one I put in a few years ago because I installed it with the windows still in. Got it close but...

    Hilborn Fuel injection - small block Mopar

    They can be converted to EFI if one is so inclined. Very cool stuff as-is though. Looks like a pretty old casting. Be fun to put it in a mid-'60's A body with a straight axle. This guy does top notch work. Here's his IG page.

    NHL 23-24

    LET'S GO RANGERS!!! Cautiously optimistic about our prospects right now. I'm always afraid to open my mouth but honestly, I can't remember the last time this team has played as well as they are playing right now. We're not getting pushed around, we come back as if it's part of the game plan...

    Best performing non offset Small block Mopar heads

    I was going to say SCE but I don't see anything they offer with a "P" in the part number. That post was also from several years ago so those particular gaskets he was referring to may not even exist any more. In their current catalog they list a set that are 2.25" x 2.4" but they are for...

    Best performing non offset Small block Mopar heads

    That's the truth. Frankly, I'm a little ashamed to post this pic since the trim job I did on these is so rough but I can say for sure that cutting these gaskets precisely is not easy. Thankfully I had enough sense to order a couple sets. Sometimes you gotta offer up a sacrifice to the...

    Best performing non offset Small block Mopar heads

    Yes, the ports are works of art. They're probably about as close to an offset-style opening as you can get with standard ports. It is taking some work to match the intake ports to these but I suppose that's a good problem to have.

    Best performing non offset Small block Mopar heads

    Just your garden-variety small block. I have nothing to add here other than to say that Rod is a really good guy and is a pleasure to deal with.
