I am wanting to switch over to methanol on my sbc. What aluminum heads do you like and why. I currently have track 1 with quite a bit of port work and have Jesel shaft rockers. It's a 414 ci 13.5 cr. steel rod in a 2400 lb. door car. The reason I am looking at heads is these have epoxy in the pushrod pinch. Just looking for opinions. Thanks | ||

For 23* heads the AFR 245 heads are pretty good. I think you will like alcohol. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability.

Just a side note / curiosity thing. I love running methanol, the added torque and cool running are great. The price is another bonus. I just saw today where the giant Danish Maersk shipping line has ordered 8 new container ships that will be methanol powered. Each will be over 1,000 feet long, capable of carrying 16,000 standard oversea containers, and will be able to make a round trip from China to Europe or the US on a single "tank". Fuel capacity? over 4 MILLION gallons of methanol. These 8 ships will be the first of their kind, and supposedly the way of future ocean transport. Wondering if that kind of increased demand on the methanol sources will eventually push up the price? (Imagine the potential for a fireball if a mishap occurs with that much alky onboard, yikes!)

Has anyone used the Trick Flow Specialties 230 23 degree heads on anything? Nick Craig 1971 Camaro Split Bumper 376ci LS3 | |||

You can run what you have with epoxy. | |||

I have always wondered what keeps those ships from going nuclear. Seems like a perfect application. Dave Koehler - Koehler Injection - http://www.koehlerinjection.com Fuel Injection - Nitrous Charger - Nitrous Master Software - Balancing 99% of fuel injection problems are electric. | |||

That depends on what epoxy was used my understanding is only splash zone stands up to methanol I know the JB weld in mine will not just bought some splash zone but love runnin the alcy The difference between ignorance and stupidity.

New Brodix Track 1's. Weingartner ported, Weingartner flow sheet. No epoxy. Got a new 2892 SV2 new in the box, and a brand new Bullet sbc roller camshaft, Identical to the camshaft in my Nova. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Mike Rietow, | |||

Those parts would make a nice 400 " range engine with around 700 horse potential. Larry Woodfin | |||

The flow sheet from Weingartner says the heads flow 326 @700, same as the out of the box Brodix 233 Track 1's on my Nova. That was the goal, duplicate the 3.875 stroke 4.185 bore 427 sbc in my car. I turned a friend onto it all, he's now decided to build a pump gas hydraulic roller Big Block Chevy street car, instead of a track car. 750hp sbc combo | |||

Another nobody, Internet forum salesman whose clients are the clueless, naive, misinformed and street/strip crowd. You won’t find anyone at Bradenton this week running his shyt either. | |||

None of this is mine, I'm not making a penny of it T I T milk Ed. All of it it is impossible to find right, not a cam core left in the country. I figured it might help someone looking to race, but can't get parts. Quit projecting yourself on others, just because you can't get anyone to take that POS dragster you have for sale. I don't get a penny, or want one, it's not my stuff. | |||

6.40 113 mph. It's not a secret, buy it. He's got a catalog cam he don't mind the world see's the cam card. This one was in 13 Super Pro finals on 21 entries at Sunshine. Actually these heads were too, before this guy bought em and had Weingartner port em. | |||

I like Eric and have worked with him several times. He does lovely work. And the Lunati cam would be a good choice for a bracket SBC in the 400" range. Some years ago, when John Partridge was still with Linati [before the bought Bullet], I ran several Lunati cams, and all performed as expected. The Lunati 50140 was a classic SBC cam.
