I received my latest secrets of speed issue this week. There are 3 aftermarket heads available for Model A's. The basic performance flathead is $550. The Riley 2 port for $3600 and a Roof Cyclone 4 port for $3700. They claim to have sold 700 Rileys.
I would assume that our 235/261 casting would run in the $5000-6000 range because its the way it is. But damn, those model A guys show up.
I think a 12 port on a 235 would be the cats a$$
Yeah, that would be nice, wouldn't it?
Every time I find a 12 port head for either the Jimmy or the Chevy (either in print or in conversation) it's a $7K entry fee into that club, minimum. That's not always including all the stuff to make it run that you would need (intake, rockers, exhaust, etc).
But I chalk it up to "the price of cool".
