What design work went into them, lol. I think you mean they were copied in Australia

Procomp electronics and speedmaster have many of the same part numbers and same company address.


Why wouldn’t a copy of something known to work, not work? Depends on how well it was copied. I’d say SM did a decent job copying. But let’s not give them more credit than they have due.

Edelbrock copied Pontiac RA IV head, Speedmaster copied Edelbrock so what's the difference? Who did KRE copy?

Eagle billet rods come from China and machined in USA
Scat cranks are forged in China and machined in USA
Etc...

Edelbrock actually changed a lot. Valve location, port size, port shape, outer casting appearance, to list a few. SM pretty much just copied Edelbrock.
