    Here are some castings we just did. The dual plug heads are brand new. The dual plug had a sand wash issue as you can see, which will be eliminated by mold wash on the next attempt.

    Snyder work in the way right now. We got screwed over by foundries so bad it isn't even funny. probably a year behind on his stuff. I am fitting time in on the first aluminum block when I can. It is almost ready to be sleeved.

    Last thing you told me was that you had cut the bores wrong for the sleeves you had. you got new sleeves and a new cutter to solve the machining issue and all you had to do was re-cut the bores. That was April.
    Patiently waiting.

    The intake in the pic a few posts above, is that a stock updraft for Snyder's, or a 2 barrel downdraft? Hard to tell without seeing the flange. I am looking for a swept up manifold to fit between my drive shaft header pipes.

  21. I hope the "B" heads are still going to be cast iron with the letter "C"on top.
