I talked to Carlos about a set, he said they can even make a custom set for my W2 heads if I send him a flange or even just a gasket to cut a flange. I know someone posted about a set he had modded, I just wanted to get any more experience feedback if anyone else went (or is thinking about)...

I just talked to Carlos, It sounds like they have developed a new part number with the #1 tube mod for early A's, it's Sanderson part number DD9. I think I'm going to have them make me a dd9 for the W2 Flange for my 66 440" /360 wagon

We did the 8.8 ford Explorer with the long side shortened 3" to use 2 short side axles to center the hogs head in my 66 wagon. 3.73 Posi and disc brakes, it's a nice way to go. Running 285 wide 18's and they fit (very close).

Having built a few of these, I would tend to go for the longer stroke, not necessarily a 4.25( that really depends on whether highest average torque is your priority over peak HP) but something over 4". The reason being you have that tall 9.58" deck height that ( to me ) you might as well try to...

Big shout out to Mike, the MRL lifters are awesome in this motor, I really like the larger diameter .815" rollers and particularly the priority oiling to the axles.

360 block A 340 blocks smaller main would leave you with not much if any journal overlap, especially with a 2" Rod journal

I'd have to check but all in I'm at or just a bit under $8k. Probably some horse trading in there somewhere and some recycled parts I already had but the motor is exactly what I wanted.

Hollis Page at www.HPEngines.net Probably not going to dyno it since the W2 headers will be hand built in the car. The puny 1 5/8 LA flange headers would handicap it. I'll probably chassis dyno it and for sure I will 1/4 mile test it. The combo is basically the same high torque Streetwize...
