my mod'd head

[XFlow_Fairlane]

well here are a couple pics of my head I am working on. I need to weld up a hole and redrill it (was too close to an existing hole) then it needs to hit the shop for a rebuild. hoping to get it finished up this spring or early summer sometime. it is drilled for a weber carb pattern so that a 5200 can be directly bolted on it or I cna use a common weber-holley plate to put my 7448 on it. the opening is just a hair larger than the secondary bore on the 5200 gasket.

Looks like a great job to me. Did you spend thirty minutes ogling it like I did mine, just for the sense of accomplishment? Actually I may need to weld some extra on the top and have it re-surfaced before I get a super nice flat flange that won't leak...Did you do a nickel braze or the "muggy weld" I have heard some about? From what I have heard from the folks here we won't be disappointed, given the right cam, compression, headers, and carburation... I wouldn't know yet---but it is exciting! Thats the big E0 isn't it? Impressive, can't wait to here how it performs.

E0 head and I used nickle rod on it with a buzz box. took me about 4 hours to weld up.....weld a little (1/2"-3/4" bead) and let cool until warm to touch....takes a long time. rod was $4.55 a rod and used about 8 rods on it (well I used 7 but it could use a little more still) so I paid $150 for the fully dressed motor (break down cost of head however you want) and $40 in welding rod was it......granted it helped that I had access to a mill while at school

That'll work!
Our cyl. head looks just like it!
My only recommendation would be to use a good silicon to glue the 2bbl adapter down. It'll help with sealing under boost!
