Where are all of the Edelbrock Pro Port Builds?
 

It's been well over three years since I returned the first castings of Edelbrock Pro Port heads I ordered the prior year.

We all know about Marcella's build, the other one was a nice EMC build with heads done by Chad Speir.

Where are the rest of the builds? The Pontiac market was crying for a 400 CFM bolt on cylinder head, traditional Pontiac, high quality casting, so where are they???

Don't be surprised if Edelbrock decides to run a CNC Victor series to move inventory, just don't think they are doing us a favor.

Yeah I've been told that if you build an all out race engine max effort then back up the numbers buyers will come? Marcella did that yet none have sold.Where are the people who always say that? Hmmm , now you know why he is going sb2. Maybe he should have offered discounts to muppets.

true!!

not too many people posted PPTTFMF!!

mainly EHTTFMF!

does that help with your question?

they are not bolt on heads.. thats the problem. they would sell if they came ready to bolt on cnc 400 cfm.

I guess it's safe to say, Marcella has the highest NA Edelbrock headed powered Pontiac ever built?

EPPTTFMF!

:eek:

That's how damn good he is! Did it on the first try too!!

he is the man!! that's why he is called magic man.. MMTTFMF!!


but it was over 200 lbs lighter.. just sayin. :)

Calvin, build a set that makes over 1,000 hp and they will come....

And they have to sell for 2995$ complete:).Bill C.

Ha! good luck with that

What about hp/cid? 2.172 .....POS needs to be 2.3 for an inline head with 1 carb.
But I think there is another 40-50 hp in it.

Im going SB2 because I can race at 250lbs lighter in my class and make similar power with that motor.

Obvious answer to the OP's question ^^^^ right there...

First thing that popped into my head,but what do I know?

What happened to Jim Robertson's efforts? Or am I remembering wrong about the port he displayed at Norwalk a couple of years ago?

an as cast 400CFM head would be a good idea

They would sell like crazy..

Would impact the head porters though, so I bet it wont happen...

Would nice if it did...

Sure is hard to make a living when anyone can make 700+hp street strip engines out of the box as cast isn't it?

So you are running Kre's program.....if you can't make the power, make it lighter.:eek:

They will never admit it but the biggest market is street engines,so yes anything that can eliminate cost ie head porting..it's not in their best interest to want an out of the box performer.

What I want to know is who, if any at all were the Pontiac morons that told edelbrock how to design this porters casting? You knew it was a bust when sold as an all out race head then they stuck pontiac style exhaust on it.

I feel sorry for all the vendors like, Butler/Kauffman/Sd etc.. That most likely bought them by quantity hoping for sales..

I hope they can sell them all...

Well KRE has their own stuff,as for the others who knows what they got.i will say this,if they did not buy large amounts now might be the time to hit edelbrock up for a fire sale. Especially if edelbrock has no plans to offer a bolt on set of pro ports.

Just like there fuel injection manifolds? That might just happen.....

Time will tell...

If Edelbrock has to get out of a no sale bind, they could always take them and do there own cnc program on them . That would sell them as long as they stayed affordable..

Well SB up to 500 cid runs at 2775 and Pontiac runs at 3025. My SB, (not the one im running in 2014) but the one im doing for myself over the next year or 2 , the target is 1180+++hp . So at that point, what would you do?

... do they limit you on cylinder head type in that class for the SBC ?? ...

I was just joking with ya John... I have no problem with the SBC...:)

No!

I know, I hope you didn't take my post as me being a smart ass.

Do they require stock bore space?

SB2, SBX, or R07?
