The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated...
While I had no intention of casting any more cylinder heads anytime in the near future, I ran into my foundry owner at El Mirage last weekend and we had a nice chat about some interesting developments with his business, like the additions of 3D scanning, in-house CNC, and some interesting new alloys and heat treatments, etc.
Coincidentally, I have also received several emails asking if I had any heads available.
So...   I'm once again testing the waters to see how many of you are interested in purchasing a 23" or 25" performance head for your Mopar flathead six.
They wouldn't be available until Spring 2022.

By the way, here's a video of another fantastic weekend on the great dirt dyno! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn4Wv3NK5UQ​

​Greetings Hotrodders,

The latest batch of 23" Gen II EDGYs are complete and shipping started this week. Heads will be shipped in the order of when full payment was received. There are still a few of you who paid a deposit and have not responded to my request asking for the balance. Please check your email for instructions on how to do so. Thank you for your orders!
I typically over-order from the foundry, understanding that there may be rejects if we find issues when the machining begins. I am glad to say we only had two rejects from this last batch, which is outstanding! Earl used to have a reject rate of almost 25% with the foundry that he was using, so needless to say, I am really pleased with my one-on-one relationship with them. That also means that there might well be a few heads available for sale in the upcoming months. These may be the last EDGY heads ever, so if you have missed out in the past, make sure you do not drop the ball this time.
Speaking of which, now that there seems to be a little light at the end of the Pandemic Tunnel, I hope to be able to start meeting with the foundry and their pattern maker in L.A., and my flow bench R&D guy in Santa Maria again soon. We have been working behind the scenes for the past year discussing my goal of creating a complete Gen III head, intake, header, and cam package designed, engineered, and optimized specifically Mopar six-cylinder engines.
The facts are that internal combustion engine and fuel technology has evolved greatly since these engines were designed back in the 1930s, yet many cam grinds and combustion chambers are still holdovers from this era. When we started our Bonneville Landspeed Racing program back in 2007, we looked at how the guys who had been racing Ford four-bangers had been building their engines for decades and realized they were repeating methods that had not really evolved much since with first Speedweek in 1948. We called guys like Art Chrisman, Mike Stewart, H&H flatheads, and asked for advice. We heard things like, "you won't see any more power running 10:1 compression than you will running 8.8:1", or "I've tried everything, and you can't run more than 24 degrees of timing", or my favorite, "You MUST relieve the block". Thankfully, Tony, Chris and I are not very good at taking can't for an answer, and our first records in 2009 obliterated the long-held records by nearly 30% (from 96.8 to 127 MPH), using...
11.2:1 compression, 28 degrees of timing, and an un-relieved block.

Anyway, this next step is an extremely intensive one. Like we did with our Bonneville engine, we will take a sawed-up 230 block and stock and aftermarket cylinder heads to our flow expert and try various combustion chamber designs and port modifications to optimize flow and combustion. All of this data gets thrown into a computer program that then spits out optimum intake runner and plenum length, size, and taper, header tube and collector length and diameter, optimal ignition timing curve, and how different cam grinds with effect the torque and horsepower curves.
Since all of that is all theoretical, we will then have to create the patterns for casting, make a few prototype parts, and take them back to the flow bench to see how we did. Modifications to the patterns will be made, and then rinse and repeat, rinse, and repeat.

So, the bad news is that there will be no new parts for probably a year or so, but the good news is when they are ready for sale, they will be proven.

Because after all, "Without Data, It's Just Hearsay"

Keep the rubber on the road, and your chin up!

Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered a 23" EDGY head. The heads are currently getting CNC machined by the students of the Skills USA shop program in Winnett, Montana. They then travel to another Montana Shop to be tapped, and yet another to be finish surfaced, cleaned, and inspected. At this point I anticipate them shipping around the end of January. Thank you for your patience and support during these challenging times! Happy Holidays!

I just added the last twenty EDGY heads for sale! These will most likely be the last EDGYs ever produced so if you want one, do it now! PLEASE understand that free shipping is only on US orders. International orders must pay actual shipping fees, taxes, and tariffs. Look into the BEFORE you order. The last one sent to Australia has over $400 in fees!

A few 25" will be listed later this week. Thanks for your support!

We are devastated to report that Santa spent a little too much time with the Egg Nog and the Naughty Elf instead of the milling machine. As hoped, the final batch of EDGY heads is still in Montana awaiting final machining. We Elves seriously hope to have them available by the end of January. The bright side is that we will be shipping them straight from Montana so it'll save you from having to pay sales tax. Stay tuned to this site and Facebook for additional information!

​HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
