Zeus! Yikes. Normally a good reputation by them. I Wonder why they produced crap?
That was the real killer for that head. (& the Stage VI.) Once that reputation was earned, it was impossible to shake. I think it would have helped if it had been PROPERLY ADDRESSED.
The reality of the head wasn’t a good one. For those that head good heads that took all the porting work without the issues found a excellent street replacement style head an excellent one.
*I think* the Brodix B1-BA-MC would be the head to swap to and close enough to call even ground vs the W5. It does require some unusual work.

I have yet to ever hear of a moved center brodix headed motor that ran anywhere close to how a similar prepped W5 motor runs.
Yea, heard all the same 350 cfm numbers you probably have, but am aware of several such motors that didnt get in the 9’s that based on parts should have easily. Doggy.
Couple of guys i know in the Mopar community who have played with them arent impressed .At All
I won’t argue that. But what else is on the table?

About it, unless you want to get in the W8/9 world. Or the 230/245 Indy offerings.
Gonna have somebody look at the 190 trick flow heads when i get a set, but suspect they arent going to go much “ bigger”
Buddy here local might finally be getting his 3.79, 14.5 compression, 800 roller W8 deal breathing fire tonight or tomorrow. Cant wait. Been in the works for a while. Curious to see some of this big carb stuff. His is 1400cfm with 120 something jets in it. Another guy is running 2000 ish cfm carb on his W8 deal. Been 160+ mph N/A
Westley, the rockers come with shafts from Harland Sharp, TD, etc...
Hold downs are also an EZ thing to get.
Used parts? Maybe not so much....
Tony
(AKA @70aarcuda )
has a inexpensive source for hold downs IIRC

Yep...that's correct. It was Zeus. I had in my head it was Winters but I knew that wasn't who it was.
Fracking Zeus.

If you bought the Jesel sportsmen rocker gear for those W5 heads your going to be a happy camper.
Ran them for years 7500 every lap, roller cam, and new owner is still running them today( bigger more agressive roller) years later. Bulletproof
You will have to have machined off about .250 if i remember right. But once right, the geometry is ultra close to perfect.
I fortunately had a buddy with a spare junk head, to close in on how much to mill. Was done at Best Machine.Think i was close to the first person to run them on W5 heads, if not the first. They were 799 a set back then... lol

The Jesel sportsman rocker gear for W5 arent shaft mount, they bolt to the head. Stands get milled down.

Sorry, mill wha stands down? Those pictured?
