Is the improvements to the new LA heads, enough to not reproduce the W-2 head anymore

Personally I think that's a VERY poor example. What we are talking about here, is something people can afford, swapping into an older car. The LS or at least "some of it" are available OEM. What do we have? Not so many Rams with 200K wore out Magnums? And, really, the Mag was just a "mild rehash" of the LA platform, suffering many design faults along the way

In other words the quantity, availability just is not there. Maybe "the same outfit" who makes EQ heads could be persuaded to do a "ripoff" casting of W heads


LS engines are pretty cheap, $1500 for a 100,000 mile running engine is not bad. With the support they have it's pretty much plug and play now.

My main point is that Ford and GM still support their guys. Heck GM is still making stuff for their small block and it came out in 1955 (?).

If it wasn't for the sprint car program from several years ago, Edelbrock and Indy we'd be screwed.
