Re: The Flying Dutchman 2014 New Thread!
Benny, not sure if you know, that Strike Force head seems to be a Pro Comp casting that has been finished and sold by another company. Not a bad thing from what I have heard. I know of a few "head guys" and they said that the strike force head are Pro Comp heads but only the casting. They are sold under other names too, just don't have that info in front of me.
So I did happen to find a set of these heads used of a guy I trust, so giving them a shot on another engine I have sitting here. FYI they made 892 on a 565 motor. My motor is going down is size but up on Hp HOPEFULLY. Would like to put out 900+ (even 901 would be enough).
So we will what they can do. Not going to be fast build, probably a year away as this motor is fifth in line, but motor 1 is almost done, and 2 isn't far off. Should have the other 2 done by summer then get onto this one. Looking to put MY '69 Nova into the 8's with Hyd cam and close to pump gas friendly 480" BBc. 9.5 is very do-able it's that other 1/2 a second that can be a pain! LOL
Good luck. John
P.S. what are you running for rear axle and wheel tires?
