Mick,

Is it a modified GM head or something created entirely from scratch? I ask because we're constantly told here that some GM heads have no performance potential. That kind of statement makes no sense because nothing is perfect and there is always room for improvement. Science and engineering are always moving forward and whatever is discovered today was unknown yesterday.

I'm a geologist and what I was taught in college in the 1960s is considered laughable today.

Well I'm a physicist so not much changes, we just learn more. I apologize for not being very clear. The red head that's on the engine now was done by Gaerte. It's a stock head that has been ported and polished with big valves and roller rockers and so on. The one I'm getting that will require some block work is a custom casting made by Ryan Falconer Racing Engines. It's an aluminum 12 port cross flow head. I don't have the specs on it yet. I'm running solid roller rocker cam. I'll let you know the specs when I get them. Sorry for the confusion, thank you for your time.
