With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

Rich, have you not talked to Bob about it?  Sorry, I thought he had you in the loop.  Give me a call sometime, or shoot me an email.

Now that i am in the loop, it looks like it will be very long time before the head is fixed. If ever. So that makes me think that maybe it's time for this whole operation to move on to someone with more ambition and energy. I never thought it was good when people kept cars locked up they were never going to use again.

Rich, don't throw in the towel just yet! I sent you an email.

It's a pity the old racing head has been put out to pasture. 

But as cool as that would have been - this looks like it's now going to get very, very interesting.

The nice thing about an Edelbrock head is that you can always get another.

I'm fascinated with this approach - make it go . . . make it so . . .  :cheers:
