Default New Head for Small Block

New head for small block.

I am a fan of smaller sized runners, but even I think this is a case
of taking things too far.

If you are going to go to the trouble and expense of changing the
heads, it makes sense to swap to a matching cam.

Which usually means degreeing the new cam during re-assembly.

Ok.

That is a real head for a mini motor that runs. It is called the Stinger 609.
Notice the size of the paving bricks below.



Though it is not a Stinger, click the link in post #2 for more info on
the mini Hemi-headed puppy.

Seriously, though. That Ferrari 312PB and the other work that Pierre Scerri
of MPSport-Proto is doing is breath-taking.

Take a look at his website: MPSport-Prototypes

Here is the wooden build-up for the 250GT in progress

Thanks, I was looking for that site but couldn't find it.






I'm amazed how these tiny motors sound. Sounds better than the real life ricer motors.
