I put a post or comments( forget which) about that 371 inch+- Victor headed enginemasters type competition motor a while back.
Valley machine here in MI built it, I use them for my stuff.
Anyhow, he sold the engine to a guy out in Nevada who has put roughly 50 1/8 mile hits on it in a street strip Duster The past two seasons, they only race 4 or 5 times a year.
Think the guy said he has run 6.30’s with it, but he runs at typically 7500 feet DA.
It’s around Winnemuca, Nevada. Not sure what that would equate to at normal DA around here.
Should be noted, because of the rpm range the competition was scored at the cam is only 255@50.

Brett Miller was able so have some of these cast differently, I am not exactly sure what all is different but there is only 6 or 8 sets out there. That duster has one of the sets. Or at least that is what he told my Dad on drag week last year.
Not sure if this is what you guys are thinking of but they were available RAW and I mean very RAW over the counter. These were unusable heads as delivered.
5? ok now who bought a single head and broke up the set. Anyone?

When they first came out they were offered in the “pro-port” configuration, which is tiny ports, and no seats or guides installed(they came in a box of parts).
I had a set of the Semi-finished ones here a few months ago.
Those were cnc ported, but had unfinished guides and uncut seats, and no valves.
All I did was fit the guides to the owner supplied Ferrea valves, and machine the seats.
I was pretty impressed with the flow(360+).
They’re pretty solid heavy castings.

I found a Stainless Works video interview Trunkett did. He mentions the engine and the heads and there are some views of them. He does say they are Brett Miller Victors on about 440 cubic inches. Very cool.
get that blue thing running and sell it off. THEN subsidize your Ritte/Victor build ;)
This got bumped up on Facebook from years ago. Brett doing what Brett does.

Yeah sorry, I missed that. It being such an old thread threw me
Well I had a call in today to Edelbrock about another issue and while I was on the phone we talked about the Victor heads. She told me two more runs of heads are scheduled to be produced. Man I wish I was young and rich instead of poor, old, and good looking.

Just take in a bunch more porting jobs and you'll have the extra cash in no time. If only it was that quick and easy.
Also, now only three in stock on Summit's site.

Go out in a blaze of glory and debt. What are they going to do to you when you don't pay it off?
I got a set on order. Hopefully they will ship mine out of one of the two runs that are scheduled.
Why didn’t you just order a set of the ones in stock at Summit
Check your phone. lol

These would definitely be good for combining pro shop and ten percent discount coupon.
I only know one guy that this works for and it isn’t me. I wish I could.

I just noticed Summit is showing five of these 61729 Edelbrock Victor small block heads in stock again right now on 4/5/2024. I can only dream about them, so somebody needs to hurry up and buy these.
