I just looked you can put them on a wish list but you can’t buy them. The unported sets are available.

Interesting.. bare aluminum cylinder heads, only look at the big block engines and compare prices, Pontiac are the most expensive, even more so than Chrysler BB. About $180 dollar compared to Chevy BB, Ford BB and Oldsmobile heads.

I wonder why Pontiac heads would have to cost that much more.

Because they probably can’t sell as many sets , the more they sell the more they can spread the R&D and set up costs would be my assumption. Or they just know we have less options.

We can probably thank Eldelbrock for the screw Pontiac people mentality. Speedmaster is just following the lead.........

In past years, hasn’t it taken a while to to delver these when they’re on sale?

No I have gotten my sets within a week each time I have ordered (last two years). I think they run out and then back fill ordered from
Demand. Those “late” orders may be delayed

Has anyone tried or successfully machined the cambers to something more manageable a size like 87cc or so for larger Cubic inches?I emailed them a while back and at that point they didn’t have any plans to have a lower compression option.I realize one can dish there pistons but for those that are looking to upgrade with a already built short block get shut out of the deals on those heads.If they want to sell heads it’s the way to go Imo….

No delivery was actually very fast less than 10 days total for me and when I got shipping confirmation from California it’s was 4 days. For you it should be faster.

Thanks. Tempted to pick up a set in case I ever change my mind on running the RAII heads. I wish the CNC heads were available to buy.

I ordered a set of the regular ones and messaged them about the ported ones and if I could order them instead but I'm betting they don't get back to me until after the sale.

310-661-0020 They are there right now and will be there all weekend.
I am looking at some t400 stuff. They have a forward and direct clutch assembly. I am trying to find out what the drums are made of. Add says steel, fine. But looks like a cast steel to me.
Coan stuff is 1000$+ each drum.
These are a grand total and very new. They got them 2 weeks ago so I would be the first.
They have to call Australia to find out the materials for sure. But that would not be until after this weekend, sale over.

I would think they are steel drums. No frictions or steels. The billet Aluminum direct drum is the go to one. 34 element sprag. that's good. The forward drum in steel is fine. Direct clutch hub is steel. Says both have aluminum pistons which is good. Good prices.
