How long did it take to make Jack's head?

He said 3 1/2 months, but that seems long for a CNC'd head.
Also, the head still needs port work when you're done maching it?

It looks like a great head and will make some serious power.

3-1/2 months was from start at the word go. David had to do all the CAD work on it and thankfully he had a Pontiac block there.

As I said before it would have been done in three months but there was an issue with one of Davids machines.

David said he could finish the ports, but Gaby wanted to finish them his way specifically for a PA car.

I'm sure Visner could have done a great job finishing but Gaby has a proven record that I would have gone with too. Look forward to seeing it run Jack. Best of luck to you. You are much better off with the Visner head over the Warp 6 head!

Visners business is making billet cylinder heads for many different brands and applications. Speaking with David at PRI, we talked at length about the cost of development and the profits associated with production.

Cast iron cylinder head cost point can be reduced based on the number of units sold, so like any business man would ask, how many cast units could be sold? High end production cast cylinder heads from Profiler, Dart and others for BBC and SBC would range from $5,000 to $8,000 ready to bolt on, so how many sets of Pontiac heads could be sold in a year at those price points? Add new manifolds, valve covers and other items and the cost to change over a race engine would be around $10k to $13k.

Our business is billet. There would have to be an incredible amount of interest for us to entertain the idea of having our designs cast by someone. I do not forsee the amount of interest needed to make the investment of starting a casting operation cost effective.
