Mickey Thompson aluminum hemi heads

[hbstang]

just a thought about these heads/intake.i know that 2 cars have them,64 t-bolt and the lite wieght galaxie,but who might have a set or know where there is a set?rumours,speculation?and how many were actually cast up.i have read 4 sets,but unknown of thats the case.one engine was on ebay in 2009 ,see link.
also,aleays wondered if a more conventional bbf heads could be reconfigured to work on an fe engine,now that there  blocks out there that could handle 1,000 plus HP.

The bore spacing is off for using 385 heads on an FE, so it would take a new design to use a compound angle valve on an FE.  You'd also need to look at pistons too.  If one really wanted something as exotic as a compound valve angle engine, then it makes more sense to run a 385 or Cleveland.  And if you want a hemi head, go with a Kasse Boss head on a 385 block. 

Wedge heads do pretty good.  If you are going with a max power deal, then hold out for one of Jay's new head design.  Still a wedge chamber but it makes a lot of horsepressure.

That's just my two cents.

How close are 392 Chrysler bore spacing to FE ? Aren't Micky's heads based on that ?

Jay Cushman at Cushman Competition has some NOS ones, no idea how many he has. He might have more info on production figures. Here’s a screenshot from one of his Facebook posts.

You probably want the real Mickeys, but if you just want a Hemi head on  a pushrod FE, it probably wound't be too crazy hard to adapt early Chrysler heads to fit. The bore spacing is about the same. You can buy them in aluminum from Hot Heads. Maybe he would sell them with the head bolt holes undrilled.

I'm not sure how you'd handle the pushrods on an FE block. The MT Hemi heads used segmented pushrods. By the time you get any hemi head to work on an FE block you'd probably be cash ahead going with a SOHC.

i think a t-bolt or galaxie is pretty cool as they are,but those heads would put it a in different class.a sohc would be nice to,but they are not any less money.at least ford did the sohc heads.
so,yes you could run those or a reconfiqured 385 head,but then it would lose something from being and fe.
Mickey Thompson was one heck of a racer,and did a lot for all the racing world.

   It would be easier to use Jay's new head and probably make more power  more easily.
  Dan I have seen a picture of one (current) supercharged M/T Ford Hemi conversion. I don't think it runs though.
