Here are a few shots of my Wayne head which the UPS girl dropped off yesterday. Am I excited? Well let's just say we slept real close last night (me & the head, not the UPS girl)... This is the first customer head shipped by Wayne, but it's #06 by my request. Casting is from the original Toros 18-bolt pattern from almost 50 years ago, with many improvements. The final machining - to say nothing of the entire R&D program - was CNC programmed by Jerry Weigt. The head weighs 32.5 lbs.
This is the intake side of the head. Roller rocker stand will be coming soon.
Sorta like a masterpiece signed by the artist.
The chambers are like mirrors.
Yup, it's a hemi. Valve sizes are 1.94 intake and 1.55 exhaust. The valves will be one-off specials made in Argentina.
Exhaust side. Special Wayne cast headers will eventually be used, but I think Ford 300 duals will fit with a little work.
This head will be used on my 285 cu in stroker block built by Tom Langdon. Lots of decisions on cam profile, induction and other details are upcoming. Some dyno work will be done once it's together. What's it going in? A severely channeled, lightweight East-Coast style roadster with no hood and minimal mufflers. At least that's the plan at the moment...I'll post further details as progress is made. And yes, the UPS girl will have a few more stops to make here, but I won't report progress there...
