Wow what a shock.  He didn’t get to enjoy retirement very long.

It's a awful shock, sad times, such a Great person! Racing world lost one of the best....

He never actually retired, he has been back at his shop a couple years, and worked Monday. He was working with huge GM dealer in Little Rock helping develop big power in new Vettes and Camaros prior to returning to Kuntz and Co.....

So I was looking and thinking and noticed my 2" primary x 3" outlet merge collectors neck down to 2 1/4" in the merge area before opening up to 3". Could that have been a restriction? Maybe causing or contributing to my high rpm rich lean fluctations? It may be worth a try once I get the car on the track to try some better collectors that do not neck down so much. Any opinions? Thanks, Jim

Jim if my opinion counts, I think that merge down to 2.250 may help, most any race collector will choke down like that. Only one cylinder at a time has to get out!        Al

Awesome Leny, it's going to be Bad Ass.  The tires will look massive under there! Stay at it, soon you'll post videos of it running!............Al

Well Jay and Group, I'm a believer in the keep it simple approach, so here is my thought..... Al

Race Head=   FE Horse Power

Street Head= FE Power

Nothing fancy. Nothing copied. Just a quick look and anyone will know what head it is. As we will also know who designed them!

I've read the posts and my question, looking at Pro Systems sheet what Hi speed jets are in it? I'm guessing a 32, try going to 28s or this much richer from what it has, then go back to your original jets the car liked best from your earlier runs. Go out and make a couple pass'es with new plugs at the end of pass shut it down, have your plug wrench with you and look, plugs will have color and you'll find a few MPH too! Patricks carbs come close, but that little adjustment should do the trick. IMO it's not fuel pressure or fuel system problem, gear or running out of engine.  Good Luck    Al

Pretty cool car, sounds great, and appears to be a Real handful! Watching the video it appears to weigh what 24 or 2500 w/driver, it definitely 60 foots..             Al

As the exhaust port is currently configured, they will not fit a shock tower car unless you cut the shock towers back somewhat.  I plan to do this on my 68 Mustang, first by installing coil over shocks (which will be significantly smaller in diameter than the normal springs), and then trimming the towers for header clearance.  My arm is being twisted by some folks to do a version of this head with the normal FE exhaust port location, so that shock tower surgery is not required and existing headers will fit, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that or not.  So many people cut the shock towers on their cars, and there are so many kits out there to convert to a different front suspension, that I'm not sure it makes sense to offer a set of these heads with the stock exhaust location; the exhaust port efficiency would be way down if I had to do that.  On the other hand, I sure would like to put a set of these heads on my 68 Shelby and my 69 Mach 1, and I'm certainly not going to cut the shock towers on those cars, so I'm waffling a bit on this...

I kept my shock towers and used the coil-over shocks with factory type control arms, and OEM steering, plugs are easy with valve covers off, headers are custom but on and off easily! I'm thinking a 68' Mustang would be pretty nice with the coil-over setup, considering it's probably 2" wider than a 64' Comet.                           Al

Great Video Thor!!!   Pauls Fairlane sure sounds sweet, as does Mikes Fairlane and John Grinwalds 64'. At 14.20 they make better passes although Paul got loose down track farther, Johns 64' went a 5.37 and Mike in Satisfaction a 5.45 I believe, they have those FE's  running....Thanks for sharing                  Al
