That's great! Do you have any details? When available? Out-of-the-box performance target?

In a few weeks he hopes to have a few prototype castings. They can be had complete or you can do your own work. As for me I'll go with the complete setup that will bolt on.

Wonderful news! The last set of ECZ heads I did for my 312 street motor have over $2,400 in them. An out of the box aluminum set for around the same money would be an easy purchase.

Moz, They make additives to control that, Modern antifreeze will stop it too. Y blockers that had the dual quad setups in '56 and '57 E codes had the problem with the intake. The alloy and heat treat that John will use is going to be much better at resisting the corrosion than what was available 50 years ago. Have not had any problem with the aluminum Water pumps or Timing covers..........YET! Just about every car on the road any more has aluminum and iron castings together.
