Thinking outside the box
lol... we were supposed to be discussing that...
Bill, no, no Ford guy ever. I think my 2nd best would be Pontiac. I learned to drive on one, and owned one for 2 weeks in 1990. Everything else has been a Mopar for me. I was referrring to Stock Eliminator. Not a person "SE". My point was in line with the comment 340 Drunk had posted about no other work but the valve job. That was funny, and again displays a certain ignorance of anything but small words read and pretty pictures looked at. My most informative years in terms of cylinder heads were working with Jaques and his crowd.
"STOCK ELIMINATOR" = "SE"
I didn't "get it", and wondered if you were talking aboiut a good friend of mine who races in Stock (drives Jim Hale's '67 G/SA 383 Barracuda), whose nane is "S.E. Buchanan." He's an experienced Stock and Super Stock driver, having won the Indy Nationals a couple of times in a '69 Mustang 428CJ 4-speed car, but also drove the Banning/Slaughter '68 Barracuda S/S AA Hemi car for several years.
I used to run a Stocker, but haven't for years. A couple of my close friends do, however, and I stay current by going to the races with them sometimes, and reading a lot (Nat'l DRAGSTER, all the Mopar magazines, Hot Rod, Car Craft, Car and Driver, etc...) I frequent ClassRacer.com which is a website for Stock and S/S owners, drivers, and fans. Also, I was a tech guy at the drags for about eight years. Been involved in a lot of different ways, since 1955... (no typo; I was 17 when I got hooked that year...)
I just want some better heads for my Magnum without having to go into debt for them, and to get a 300+ intake port is $$$$$$$$ the way things stand. The reference to the LQ9 head was just an example showing that an out-of-the-box 300+cfm head with a true wedge valve arrangement was not only possible, but already a reality. So, it CAN be done...
I remembered the Booth/Arons AMC welded "TALL-PORT" heads of 1970-'71 and thought, why can't EQ, or somebody do that with a Magnum head??????
It sure would solve a lot of problems for me, all at once!8)
Orivbably not gonna happen
