No one, except Ford, has made an X flow head for the 300. I was told during an interview with a former Ford engineer, who worked on the 300 project, that Ford had developed an Xflow head. He said they actually put it on a very few factory trucks with a turbo, and it made more hp than a 460.
He also said that when they scrapped the project, they asked if anyone wanted the heads, and then destroyed a palette full of them!! A moment of silence is in order.
I still want to lift the hood on a junkyard truck some day, and have one with a turbo set up staring at me. I think I'd just pull the whole engine, since it probably had a forged crank too.
When I say 'no one' I mean in a factory. There are guys who have oven braised 351 heads together though.
