If you had half a clue what you were talking about, i may of given this some thought. In what way does a 440source head look or perform like an Mopar Edelbrock head, other than the intake bolts up the same and the standard valve covers can be bolted on each in the same manner.
quote from another RACER on moaprts "Just got done doing some very mild port work on these 440 Source heads. Nothing new to anyone on here probably, they are alot like the Edelbrocks ofcourse."
I would love to know how many sets of heads you have done any port work on and if you infact have even ran your fingers around a 440 source intake runner to feel what shape they are.
I have seen the crap that goes on in Moparts. It is all a load of crap over there. All i see is "if it aint American made, i would not buy it" time to wake up people. If you want products at realistic prices and of quality, you have to do the hard yards and make it happen, and if contracting overseas work helps and makes a product cheaper, then so be it.
If i remember rightly, 73_ralley asked the question here, i replied with real world knowledge and not something someone else had writting. So unless you know what you are talking about, put up or shut up..........
I guess I am just reading too much into the statement made on the 440source website.
"Price: $899/set fully assembled and ready to bolt on!"
Dwayne, I imagine you might be reluctant to even post right now, but if the heads were to be milled to say 75-78 cc, would the gasket fit better? I would be wanting to duplicate the 78 cc of a 915 I am currently running (they are borrowed heads or they wouldn't be coming off). Thanks for the "heads" up. Some people appreciate your efforts without the critisism.
did you check how much the valve seat overhangs into the throat too? IMO thats a HUGE issue. and judging by those
pics dwayne posted, i don't think a simple dowlpin adjustment is gonna fix it.
Dwayne, I just want to say again, props to you for all your input on these heads . In my book you're a stand-up guy for inspecting these heads thoroughly, then freely posting your perspective on them for us all to see. Thank you for the info you have provided to us so far, and I would love to see the full flow chart for these heads when you can post it.
A big to all of those giving Dwayne a hard time over this. He's supplying us all this information for free, and I am thorougly disgusted at anyone who has to gives him any crap over this.
Wow...I've always been totally neutral about your stuff...but if you think that Dwayne is biased after all these years of reading his posts on this board...then you are really clueless.
And if you can't see the problems in his pics...then you also know very little about the products you sell.
just purely out of curiousity, if you move the gasket around on the head to make it fit better, how does it line
up with the cylinder bore? i'm trying to picture it but can't.
Ok, now this is getting nauseating.. Brandon had a hissy fit and some of you fell right into the game.. As I have said, I could care less if brandon posts here or not, 99.9% of what he posts has to do with promotion of his products, which is fine, he IS an advertiser here, he PAYS to do so, which is a lot more than some can say around here, but to feel bad cause he has become upset over the critiquing of his products is a little over the top.
NEED I GO ON……………..
