Regarding the heads: it has become obvious that while we can produce the heads with the equipment we have here we cannot produce them efficiently. I have been talking to Edelbrock for over a year about having them machine the heads. It seemed that we would be able to do them quick enough to keep up but I have finally realized we can't.

So... The heads will be machined by Edelbrock for the foreseeable future. We have the castings, they need to make fixtures and write machining program. Hopefully this change will make the heads readily available in the near future.

Regarding intake manifolds, the changeover to the Edelbrock foundry is complete. Castings were made late last week. Will pick them up Wednesday or early next week. This is a large run of manifolds and should end the wait for quite a while.

Thanks to all for your patience

Hi John,



I applaud your patience in this project. Will the new intake be available for us Tbird owners along with the taller version?

57 Black Tbird 312/auto

Mark, we will be doing high rise and low rise versions.

We have had 24 samples so the fixture and program is all worked out.

Happy Thanksgiving all !

Talked to an engineer @ Edelbrock on Monday. They apparently have fixtures made and are working on final blue prints from the drawings we sent then.Not having much luck pinning them down to to any specific dates on when they will be ready to start machining.
Can only hope its soon.
