I am as giddy as a kid on Christmas Eve!

My new cylinder head is to be here before Christmas!


On top of that, I have got my new shop to a stopping point for winter, all summer I have been adding new parts to my F100 Pile and just have to watch them as I spend all the time on the shop.


Well guess what, winter is here and it is time for me to get back on the 56. Going to try to get the doors finished up through the winter and start focusing my time and efforts on the Super Charged Straight Six!


And it starts tomorrow!

The market for straight six blocks just got better, you may need a few more over the years. Depending on how tight you wind that thing up.

300 block with 7 mains, forged rods and pistons, should take some abuse. Plan on limiting the boost to no more than 15 psi.

It has been done........ with different heads, but only in racing applications. Not sure I would want a street engine with a Frankenstein head on it.


Mine was CNC ported ........... 2.02" Intakes, and 1.7" Exhaust. Should be around 85% intake to exhaust flow. Will know soon once it is flowed!
