Default EHTTFMF!!! An attempt at a technical discussion.

So many threads that contain EHTTFMF and why the E-Head is such a great race head, I thought we could really discuss why this head is so great.

I will start with a few thoughts;

2.110" x 1.660" valve size

215cc volume intake runner

Patented "soup bowl" 72cc or 87cc chamber

Other benefits from Edelbrocks web site.

"These heads provide great torque and horsepower up to 5500rpm"

I just thought it was that EHTTFMF just rolls off the tongue and is fun to say.

Some of us don't even know what EHTTFMF stands for. I prolly get the last 2 letters.
This thread should be interesting..............

It's the mass production, so many out there, and many to modify to flow well.
They are cheap, and work with off the shelf parts.

I'll start some more crap KRETTFMFER'S, DCITTFMFER'S LOL

It's not the mass production, it's the fact that competing heads that are design by people paying attention to a bunch of s*** that doesn't matter. Or solve one problem and create another or 2 or 5 .
So you get a head that is hardly better.

One mite ask what is the definition of a "GREAT RACE HEAD".
Did that not start in late 1954?

Good question, the Hemi was designed 1951 I think. The 127/980 great heads for racing at the time.

The RAIV and SD heads also great at the time.

You could say that it started then, but I'd say it first proved itself in 1957 at the NASCAR Daytona SpeedWeek- finishing 1st/2nd/3rd in class through the flying mile, 1st/2nd in class in the standing start mile, and 1st in the GN race.

Funny part is is it's not a great head it's an epic pile of s*** for a race head . And almost anything should smash it on the track effortlessly. And the sad part is its still TTFMF.
That's what makes EHTTFMF is much fun.

EHTTFMF is out of respect for the old and handicapped...the younger guns let them sit up front.

By all means take the front seats. Butt Dyno sheets and Time Slips are required up there. If you can't provide then to the back of the line with you but don't worry seems there's lots of keyboards in front of those seats. Carry on.
Hehe

Another nice feature is they are available without pushrod holes so you can easily put them where you want.
If you know the right people they can be had without the guides and seats installed.
