With 300 hp, would you have to box the frame so it won't get tweaked? How much hp can you go before tweaking the frame?

Guys, guys, guys...we all have many, many questions for AZ but lets just give him the benefit of a doubt that whatever he and his companions decide it will be great. I'm sure he has already thought about all of the "what ifs" and has taken in to consideration all of the perimeters involved with this performance head.
I don't mean to sound negative but let's just wait and see. After all, he runs a car performance business and he doesn't need to give away too many details.

Stang 200 is right. I really don't care how much power it will make. I know it will be more than I have now. Besides, an aluminum head with a seperate manifold built right here in the US? That is awesome! This will put the Ford six cylinder back on the map. (for those who don't know any better) Mark my words. Mike won't be able to build enough of these things.
. Very aggressive 
! It should be do-able, or even 1.2 Hp/ci would be killer 
. Keep the price below four figures and you have a customer here 8) ! Who wants dibs on my Offy 3 bbl 250 head?

this board will be a slide....stock< Oz/AR <Aluminum
the effect will be rippeling....everyone will be selling heads and getting new heads off each other......trickel down
this should be interesting

Could I get that much horsepower with just the aluminum head, 264 cam, pacemaker, dual flows, DSII, & a holley 5200?

I have a 66 Falcon Fordor and I really don't care to race it. It's my daily driver and I have driven it from Portland, OR south to LA and then over to Atlanta, GA. It cost a fortune in gas. I have since made trips to Florida and Louisiana several times.
I admit to being possibly the cheapest guy around, but if you could get me a head that would get me 40 mpg on the highway I would definitely buy it. Even if I had to add EFI and all the complications that entails. I would love to have a good running, fuel efficient engine in my car. Right now I think I get a little under 20 MPG with a 200, Ignitor 2, Autolite 1100, C4 and 2.83 rear gears. Unfortunately no overdrive on that C4.
I have no idea what kinda mileage this head you are designing might get, but if you have any ideas I would really like to hear em. But as my professor used to say, designing for max power is different than designing for max efficiency.

I guess I will start saving. Cant wait till they are finished
Mike, a properly designed aluminium head with a 4 barrel carb manifold or a turbo intake would be a real plus.
Using the present us-oz exhaust mounting would be a real plus, not only in the usage of a currect header but the wide availability of the aftermarket exhaust systems presently on the market.
Using 1 3/4 intake valves & 1 1/2 size valves using the pro-flow design would enhance the flow #s. Remember not the size of the ports but proper design with efficient flow is the key to good all around performance.
Get this head built & i will definately wait to reap the benifits of this superior design.
Till then i will just chug along with my modified log.
The argie head looks good, but if you can improve on it, i will be a buyer. Its worth the wait plus the final cost. William

How would that work Mike? A single pushrod driving a custom rocker that opened 2 intake valves? If you did that would you have to use lighter springs on the intakes to compensate for having to drive 2 valves? Otherwise I would imagine that you could have uneven cam/lifter/rocker wear.
Sounds cool, but I'm sure that it would require alot of non-standard parts that could drive the total price way up if we would need custom rockers as well.
