When going to the conventional exhaust port location, the plug has to move.  I can still get it in the same area of the chamber, but it comes in at a different angle, more like a conventional FE head.

After the heads get developed I want Mr Brown to produce a block with a raised cam tunnel. We can only go so big with the bore but we could stroke the heck out of it. I know it might not look like the way to go but I will take cubic inches anyway I can get them.

Funny you mention that, it is next on my list.  Maybe by this time next year...

I was looking at a display of spark plugs at a trade show, some are tiny, like 10mm threads and use a 1/2" socket. Something like that could free ip a lot of space or make more positioning options in these heads. It isn't like they need to fit the spark plugs the old heads used.

My 10 mm spark plugs that I use in my aluminum heads use a 5/8" socket just like the regular 14 mm plugs.  Also, with the 10 mm, I found on the dyno that indexing them was useless for any power improvement since they are so small and placed optimally.  Not a bad idea to think about, but they are sometimes hard to find locally.  Joe-JDC

Very nice work Jay. The stock exhaust port option, is going to be a big seller.

1" Raised cam, .500 raised deck, 4.8 bore spacing!

Since everything from the crank to the valve covers will no longer fit the 4.8" why not go to 5.3" bore space and we can have 927's

Be kind of cool to have the FE become the "go to" ProMod engine.

I stopped over at Jays and saw the sand patterns. Amazing stuff. I am in awe that Jay has no formal or vocational training in this automotive design and casting field, yet here he is wazzing out top shelf stuff.
