They are definitely a lot lighter than the Indys or B1-BS heads (don't know what the Ed's weight) and on an 1900# car the weight savings can make the playing field a little more equal. Moe, as usual your assessments are dead on, the only thing I will say in defense of the Stage VI heads is that they can be a pretty decent head, especially in a light car like my altered, if you can pick some up used at a good price I wouldn't turn them down. Hensleys address is:īTW Labbous is living just north of Goodlettsville, TN and I don't think he does any machine work other than his own stuff, think he farms most of it out. Don't know the exact address but they are (or were) on Memorial Drive on the east side of Atlanta. They use to be Mopar only but branched out a few years ago, I've had several blocks lifter bore bushed there, they've always done good work, just haven't been in touch with them in a while. Were you using Barnetts in Atlanta, haven't heard of them closing the machine side, although I think they are starting to concentrate more on the mail-order retail side of business. Brewers, B 1's or even TS heads won't take you there. But at their current price, I'd just do a stage V hemi, and work around the smallest X-section port avaliable that can provide 550cfm. If stage VI's were $1100-1200 a set, loaded up, maybe, but not at the same price of the S/R.Īs Billy points out, B1's are best for big motors, or alot of ($$$) RPM. But his choice of heads isn't the weak link.
As KM pointed out, you friend has a problem with his combination. The stage VI isn't in the ballpark, as far as potential is concerned. Indy 440-1's or Brodix BS heads have the same +.500" long 11/32" valves, as the S/R, with the off-set rocker. Probably around a 40 cfm edge in potential flow. It sports 5.300, or so, long 11/32 valves. The avaliable min X-section at the push-rod is a little better, due to a tall casting, and external oiling. And at last check they were the same price. The entry level Indy(SR) has quite a bit more potential, than any stage VI. They are more limited by stubbornly sticking with the stock valve-length(3/8th stem and all) format. They are limited by the available X-section, due to the stock push-rod off set.
The husband-and-wife partnership also owns Extreme Mopar apparel sales and the Caged Insanity clothing line, in addition to Wheatcraft Concrete Services based in Jamestown, Ohio.I'd just as soon have EB's at alot less initial investment, than stage VI's. We are humbled and honored with the opportunity and challenges before us." The legacy that has been built on hard work, dedication, and pure genius by the Flagle Brothers and their employees is a true American rags-to-riches success story. "It is a tremendous honor to lead the company forward. The Wheatcrafts, longtime Mopar drag racers, have every intention of continuing Indy Cylinder Heads' decades of service as a performance leader within the motorsports industry. It has been the consistent belief by the company that thorough engineering and extensive testing leads to the correct combinations of blocks, cylinder heads, manifolds, pistons, camshafts, and every component used to produce the ultimate in engine power.
The company, founded more than 40 years ago by brothers Russ Flagle and Fred Flagle, has supplied the highest quality engine parts and complete engines for aftermarket purchase. Prior to the 2019 Performance Racing Industry (PRI) trade show, longtime drag racers Chris Wheatcraft and Charli Wheatcraft purchased Indy Cylinder Head.
