New cylinder heads

Could have at least got the KFM sign in the background

Mike said $2300 for the A intake/ BBC exhaust, and $2100 for the CJ intake/BBF exhaust. Both configurations have a standard valve layout. He is also going to do a few sets with CJ intake/ BBC exhaust, similar to the old Blue Thunder B head. All I know is that there will be a lot of pullers and mud drag guys who finally have a set of heads that fit their needs.

Those pullin' guys are gonna be pullin' something when they see these pics.     ....They look pretty hefty too, some blue paint and your going to fool a lot of people unless they know what they are looking at.

Very Sorry Keith, next year I'll do better I promise.. I was doing good to get steady shots of the heads because my heart was still racing from the activity at the booth I was at just before we came to yours..... Travis was having trouble operating the camera on my iphone, so I got to hang on a little longer than usual..

Mike said $2300 for the A intake/ BBC exhaust, and $2100 for the CJ intake/BBF exhaust.  Both configurations have a standard valve layout.  He is also going to do a few sets with CJ intake/ BBC exhaust, similar to the old Blue Thunder B head.  All I know is that there will be a lot of pullers and mud drag guys who finally have a set of heads that fit their needs.

hopefully these heads will not only fill the void now that the ex514 heads aren't being produced but also go beyond.

Best I remember the ex-514's were around 100 pounds each so if these are that or less that's good. Having any aftermarket iron head will help a lot of guys trying to compete in the all iron classes.

Todd, these heads are well under 100#. They are similar in weight to a stock head.

If that's the case that is another advantage because bbc heads are very heavy also. Only problem I am seeing with them is they are coming out about three years to late I no longer need them.

It's never too late to get back in again.

I told my wife that, and she mentioned the "D" word if I built another pulling truck....

If the weight aint too big a deal in a build I'd take iron over aluminum. They tend to stay put better.

When I originally did the model 3 years ago Mike provided me with an aluminum semi finished version of the Compresco head. It was a lot easier to work with than iron that's for sure. I've had my fair share of grinding 460 iron LOL.

The EX514 and BT Iron CJ are cast off aluminum tooling which allows for thicker cross sections like the deck and other places. That's why they end up being so heavy in iron.

When I raised the valve cover rail 1.25" and desiged 4 individual ports it got heavier for sure LOL. I wanted to be able to use an A-460 intake on the raised port.

The concept I came up with was a sort of plug and play port selection. So when you select a low port the roof will be pretty thick. Now you could also do a raised CJ port as well. I tried to build as much flexability as possible into the design. Sometimes when you ask something to do too many things it doesn't want to. I had a girlfriend like that once. I think this head will do pretty well though.

This head will also have an indistrial application for alternative fuels.

I really wanted to get out to the PRI but I've been a little under the weather.

Are these available to buy now? Or when are expected to be available?

Late Jan/early Feb.

Would be cool to see a block with gm bell pattern and starter mounting

^ that would make it alot easier to deal with transmissions at the track.

Any idea what the cj intake/ bbf exhaust version will flow out of the box?

the elm blocks have a starter pad on the drivers side already for a gm type bolt on starter

any news on when they will be available?

update

Now that these have been out awhile, anybody do much work with them? Good potential?

Who has ran these heads?

Nobody that I personally know of, that's why I ask. They are very intriguing to me.

I know a mud racer that bought a set but I don't know if he has them on an engine yet.
