Re: Weslake Chevy heads

[Dick W.]

John, I have seen some dyno results on the semi-hemi heads that you are talking about. The port runners and valves were so large that you had very poor throttle response below 6,500-7000 rpms that they were not practical. Were still pulling strong approaching 10,000 though. There is one of those engignes sitting on a stand about 20 minutes from me. I have been trying to buy it for about 15 years with no luck. All I want it for is to sit in my office for display.

there was a Z-28 at the muscle car show

in nashville with this engine. i always said if weslake had made these heads for chevys he would have sold a lot more. my friend dan white,a ford nut,has a set of them for a small block ford.

Re: there was a Z-28 at the muscle car show

There was a yellow car with the Hemi heads that was owned by Dwight Wiggins a few years ago IIRC. I've been out of Camaros for a while though.
