Re: 302 Hemi
Charley, Am curious, what affect do the heads have on performance? The reason I ask is this. Don Yenko spent big bucks with an overseas company called Westlake, in England. They had developed a 4 valve per cylinder head. Don commissioned them to do this with a 302 Chevy head. The prototype heads were sent to Smokey for testing. The results were no where near what West Lake had promised. Don made the comment that the Westlake head did not perform much better then a good set of regular competition heads. The documents and pictures related to this project make for interesting reading. I would love to find a set, and the special valve covers that go with them. Much like the hemi heads, they are unusual looking, to say the least. Tom
