However SD Performance sells several ported versions for not much more money, and they can and will support that and more.
2X. If you purchase the KRE heads from SD they will also recommend the cam.

"The KRE heads in the 290cfm offerings will easily make more power at every rpm than the ported 62's." But Cliff I thought smaller iron heads were all we need and they beat those big aluminum ones

OMT lives on the west coast, and is of no relation to Jim Taylor on the east coast.

OMT, we all know you're not a 'dushe'.


We have a friend who's name is Jim Taylor also, who has a nickname of Pontiac Jack.
Maybe we should call you 'Pontiac Jack', but then Pontiac Jack would be po'd.


Any way, OMT is not the Jim Taylor in the poster's thread.

As you can tell, it's a delicate subject.

I was referring to post #3, and OMT was also, I believe, not the 'joke' post?

IMO, they're iron d-ports... how exotic can they be? Based on you're weight, engine size, mph... they'll be around 260ish +/-. If you want to spend the money and buy KRE's, add a couple more bucks and get'em ported. Why spend money and not go faster?

"But Cliff I thought smaller iron heads were all we need and they beat those big aluminum ones."

We've covered that ground many times. Nothing at all wrong with iron heads. Correctly ported samples have shown us they can and will make some pretty serious power, ET/MPH etc.

If you are paying for the work, the price quickly approaches buying aluminum heads in the first place, which is what I've done here since KRE came out with the aluminum "D" ports.

We haven't built a single 455 engine using them, that didn't make at least 500hp on pump fuel with relatively small cams, iron intakes, etc.

Even the 428 we built made 497hp at 5600rpm's, with unported KRE heads. I'm not going to spend countless hours with the grinder, or pay $1400 or more for ported iron heads, when I can get KRE's for a few hundred dollars more......FWIW.....Cliff

Well, he's in The Peoples Socialist Republic of New Jersey and rumor has it that he crawled out from under a rock.

Additionally, and not surprisingly, he is currently being sued over fraudulent misrepresentation in connecting with some shenanigans he pulled over on the folks who built The Righteous Judge.

I hope it bankrupts him.

FWIW, it looked like it came from the bottom of a farm pond, then got Eastwood sprayed right over the grime, upper idle airbleeds smashed closed, primary shaft had about .030" side-play, excessively warped across the front/leaking at the gasket, WAY off on the jet and rods sizes, etc, no Viton parts, wrong power piston spring (clipped the stock one down some), etc, etc, etc.....but who am I to question what others are doing, I just wanted the darned cam specs so I could get the carb set up correctly?......Cliff

That sounds like the Jim Taylor from The Peoples Socialist Republic of New Jersey that everybody in the Philly area is familiar with.

Say, I wonder why he moved from the great bastion of conservatism, Pennsylvania, across the river, to the most liberal socialist State in the country?

To escape legal problems in PA?

Really? Where might I find this information? It should be public, no?
