For the SBF owner who has everything

[Deaf Bob]

Back in the gas crisis of the 70's, those were the trick for mileage, driveability and power.... Guess there is a reason why it didnt take off other than price?
Doubtful this motor gives a rat's ass about mileage...
Always liked that look...

$9200 good Lord!

Look at a modern inline 4 bike engine - it's pretty much just like that.



other than the ports probably being WAY F*ING LARGE BY HUGE for any stock stroke SBF, the chamber looked pretty modern? I'd imagine they would hold their own pretty good on a 408+ inch mill at 7000? Hell, who cares. They're sexy. The look fast. That's gotta be worth something in the lawn chair world!!

that is a cool sight..

thought something was missing, I guess that angle is nothing to worry about
would be cool if they cast the head to a level port.

I don't understand the four 48 weber mounts..
an angle missing, an intake?

Those Gurney heads are awesome, I've seen them for sale a few times at the swap meet at Carlisle All-Ford. It would be interesting to see flow numbers and a dyno test compared to some present day aftermarket aluminium heads, just for curiosity's sake.

Sold! I'd love to see the end product! It's interesting to see how similar the chambers are to Ford's aluminum GT40 heads. I'm thinking they flow a lot better then stock heads, LOL but I'll be willing to bet they don't hold a candle to present day aftermarket heads for street motors.

I would also like to have this!

That is very cool. An injected 289 would look awesome in my dragster.

If I had $2k right now, I would own that. Think how cool it would look on a T bucket or in my Cougar.
