It is indeed possible, I have already done it. I have a 390 cfm @ .700 stock pushrod location version right now as well as a 428 cfm @ .750 offset pushrod port. These are both small fast runner ports that will work well on engines from 428 cu. in. to 535 cu. in. The only problem I see is the amount people willing to step up to the plate. I have only had one person call about the pro port, and he was just inquiring. We need at least 6 confirmed orders to proceed.

Don -- while I understand your concern in wanting "advanced orders" I think that is wishfull thinking -- why would guys put up money and pre-order, not knowing what there getting ??? I believe it is more of a " If you build it they will come" situation. The competion of having multiple shops developing this head is exciting and there will be variations that fit most if not all needs. I for one have jumped in on the leading edge of some of this stuff to many times - sometimes it worked out - some times I got a big bite out of my ass, this time Id like to see what grows from the seeds that are planted and then chose my direction from proven results, from a shop that has a reputation of providing a first class product.

Ditto! Also more info. Shafts, no shafts, Victor intake compatible, rocker studs, guide plates, chamber cc's, etc. Thanks, Eric.

Bill i disagree with some of that statement alot of racers are running the rpm e head with just a clean up the bowls and ports. this is with no disrespect to anybody that makes a living porting heads but edelbrock does not care about pontiac if they did we would have a head completed for the masses not a block of aluminum for 2,500 dollars. it is about marketing to the masses on price point I have a qestion for any one that can answer it how can i get a complete edelbrock head for a olds for $820 and the new D port for $1200 what makes a pontiac head more money then a olds

You're probably right. But they would be a good starting point. ... Eric.
