This stuff is awesome. Way outta my league but really awesome none the less. Maybe you could talk him into a thread that lays out some of the Kenne-Bell stories.
Just when you think you have everything, you don't! Remaining parts should be here soon. Will keep you all posted. We are seriously considering casting these heads for street and all out strip racing with water. Seems a few racers could use them. Stay tuned for the biggest news in Buick racing since the Stage 2 heads!
Jim Bell and Doug Jones would have a lot more input than I would. I look back at the relationship with those two and am still in awe of the experience. I talk to Doug on a regular basis, on what is up my sleeve, and just talked to Jim Bell a couple weeks ago. I will meet up with him when I get back from vacation.
Have you ever considered making your billet heads 2 piece bolt together with O-ringed for sealing so they can have coolant passages? Doesn't seem like they would be hard to machine, having the blueprints for it would be the hardest part. Something to think about if you're having a hard time finding someone to do a low production run to cast your heads for you? Imagine the ease of porting potential with the heads in 2 pieces that way!
My billet heads have water, just not enough for street use. (or at least we haven't tried them, lol) This is what is good about my heads, they don't need porting. Out of the box they flowed over 53o cfm! Not a misprint. Five, Three, Zero. Yes they can be improved but no one will run a Pro Stock Buick. Although we will have parts if you so choose, it will be very very expensive. To answer you questions. I have the blueprints, we have people to make the castings. The dyno motor will be running soon, We will see what power a moderately built motor will make. No, never considered a 2 piece head.
