I saw them but I don't remember where. They were 32 valve jobs and were about $5700.00 each, bare.

i see used yates heads on ebay all the time - but they cost about twice as much as brand new windsor heads!

oddly enough, the intakes are fairly cheap...

Aluminum heads?

Aluminum head rumors. Can someone find more recent info?

March 17 2002

Another company in Melbourne is releasing alloy heads for the cleveland. I believe these heads are closer to 2V size. From what I have seen of the prototype flow figures, these heads should be exceptional. The price is similar to the New Zealand Pro Cylinder heads for the Chev. Both alloy and cast iron will be available. Release date in a month or so.

There is no website,
The company is AirFlow Dynamics

I looked up the PROTOTYPE figures:
Inlet Valve:2.05"
Exhaust Valve:1.655"
Port Volume (estimate):180cc
Inlet Flow @ 28"H20 & .500 lift : 289cfm (cf 4v=245)
Exhaust Flow @ 28" H2O & .400 lift: 208 cfm (cf 4v=150)
Chamber Volume: 65 or 72 cc

These heads are being produced in Melbourne Australia. They shall be released shortly. If your in oz buy parts peddler and look up Airflow Dynamics in the index.
