Sorry

I ain't ("ain't" being a word us exotic FE guys use) buying your explanation. I'm not asking for a complete redesign of the head. Ford made a small chamber head back in the early days that allowed for decent compression with 352 and 390 displacements. That can be done again with at least some modernization of shape. Keep the spark plug where it is.

To make an Edelbrock head worth its cost, you need to pay someone to port it or do it yourself. Why can't one be released that supports 600 horsepower in as cast form, that takes a normal valvetrain? Everybody else has this. Even Cleveland stuff has passed us by, and now TFS is coming out with a new C head that flows out of the box.

"People go to 429/460 style engines because of the availablity of heads." Isn't that what I'm saying? You can buy aftermarket non-exotic heads that flow 320 to 400 as cast all day long for the 385 engines. Why not us?

What the 460 crowd does not have is bazillions of engines floating around that are under 400 cubes that are "natural" powerplants for the classic (and lighter) 60's cars we all dig. Cheap, fun motors.

Again, I think that what you are doing is nifty and all, but I doubt you are going to sell very many billets. As you yourself have pointed out, the A460 and C460 headed (and soon to be Boss) guys have the big power market pretty well sewn up for the Ford camp. I don't think the billets will ever be legal for any classes, so your market is the Big Bux Dudes.

Once again, I think that a capable manufacturer has missed the boat to turn a profit. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
