Carl.  I’ll take you up on your head offer as I can return those to you when I make the Labor Day trip to Columbus.  I’ll reimburse you for the shipping coming this way.

 

John F.  Although the original plan was to simply test a pair of stockers and a pair of ported C’s, your heads being milled 0.060” does allow for an extra testing variable.  With that in mind, I’d like to test your pair of heads also.  On your end, make arrangements to send the heads to me of which I’ll reimburse you the shipping costs.  I’ll simply return the heads along with Carl’s when I make the Columbus trip.

 

John M.  I’ll take you up on your offer if you think the heads can be made run ready with a minimum of work.  I can change out the springs on this end if they are questionable.  I’ll call you early in the week on more details on these heads and possibly getting that pair headed this way.

 

Tim.  I can hold off for awhile on the head test if you’d like to port up a set of C’s for the test.  Once the tests are done, I can get the heads headed back your way.

 

As with the other heads I’ve already tested, the plan is to use the stock Mummert intake with a 750 Holley and test with two different sets of headers. So far I’ve been testing heads with the EMC headers and Charlie Burn’s 1½” tubed Sanderson pickup headers.  The results thus far have been interesting.

Ted, it may be a while since I am knee deep in the Unibody and I have a few jobs going that have to pay for the racing.   What I'd like to do is do a little port work to the "C" heads I have and fix up a set of C1TE heads (http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=549186) as well and send them out for testing, that sound OK? I think with four heads I'll just strp them to a pallet and ship by truck.

Tim.  Sounds like a good plan to me.  Just let me know when you are getting close and I’ll start preparing things on my end.  Thanks.

How about a set of C0AE heads? I have a set with about 11000 miles on them since rebuild. They have bigger intake valves but are not modified otherwise.

Ted:

I took a look at the heads this morning.  Like John's, I have one with and one without the end freeze plug.  They have knurled guides, and a parts store two angle valve job, not run since.  One must be one my uncle took to the tool shop where he worked, and they set it up on the surface grinder and set the cut for .060, but didnt allow for wheel wear, measuring pads yields a .050 cut.  The other one I must have done when I worked at NAPA, it has been Storm Vulcan cut to .060.  Intake surfaces have been cut so that manifolds should fit OK.  Springs and retainers are stock Y pieces.  Say Yay or Nay, you are welcome to use them.

Carl, don't worry about the EBU head, the guy has dropped through the cracks and I can't find him.

John  The EBU heads i have are pretty rough so maybe a good thing if he dont need them.I am going to ship my C heads to Ted tomorrow  Carl

John F.  Please go ahead and send your milled ‘C’ heads also.  I’ll reimburse you the shipping costs coming this way and I’ll also bring that pair of heads back with me to Columbus.  I figure I will not get an opportunity later down the road to do such an extensive cylinder head test so it’s best done now.  I’ll be cc’ing all the heads being tested so that an accurate compression ratio can be determined in all instances.

 

Charlie.  Tim is going to supply a set of modified C1TE heads.  With that in mind, a set of stock small valve heads should be tested also so let’s work on getting your heads headed this way also.   

 

At this point, I’ve already tested six pairs of heads on the dyno mule and looks like another six yet to be tested.  Considering the range of heads, it will be a large amount of data to sort out.  Plans are to continue running all the heads with two sets of headers also.

Charlie brought me a set of C1TEs from the "pile" the other day, I've got them cleaded up an will try to get some work done a little at a time.  I wasn't going to do this for a while but now I'm a little excited about the testing.

To the guy who sent me a PM about shipping heads, contact me through my Y-Block Guy email.

Ted, I have a set of 1956-312, ECZ-B heads off of my old engine, that were milled & ported years ago if you want to throw them in the mix. I'm sure the guides and valves are not perfect but just offering. They're just sitting now.

Al.  There’s a set of ported C heads being worked on and offered up for the test which should be representative of what the B heads are capable of.  With that in mind, I will not need your particular set of heads unless something on this end changes.  Thanks for the offer though.

 

Carl.  Your stock ECZ-C heads have arrived.  Thanks.
