Any mnfr. ever design or build a v8 wedge head with over & under opposing valves like a Hemi type head?

I dont think you can get over & under opposing valves in a non-hemi head.  The pocupine-style head such as found on a BB Chevrolet is about as close as you can get.  I think this splayed/canted valve arrangement is about as good as you can do with two valves on a wedge-shaped head.  \n\nSonny Leonard (of mountain motor fame...) has designed a "next generation" cylinder head currently in vogue with the GM IHRA pro stock racers.  A weird (but impressive) casting, this may be the closest to the arrangement you are describing.  \n\nhttp://www.sonnysracingengines.com/\n\nThe Cleveland series of cylinder heads for the small block Ford are pretty weird as well.  In short, they are a big-block chevy head crammed onto a small block ford (Note:  I say that because of the valvetrain arrangement--lay off blue-oval fans! :-)  )  You can check them out at:\n\nhttp://www.chiheads.com/3v_manifolds.php

HI been a compulsive Modder/Performance Freak me and two Friends was sat talking (Computers of course) and we came up with an solution to fan filters a box (internal) fro a 80mm fan think of a rubber pipe collar round or a square box section that will fit over the fan, then you need (don't laugh) woman's tights cut a round or square peace out to fit over the walls of the tube/box and secure with wire, this works my mate has this now on his input fans, no restriction of air flow and a very clean case, SO some thing 20mm deep with no ends that will span the fan and a section of Lady's tights stretched over the end furthest from the fan. Good luck, Cybercat.

Are you talking cubic inches or horse power or both\n\nIE you can get 408 hp from a 400ci with the right cam heads intake and carb.\n\nYou can also bore out an engine block to increase the cubic inches, IE bigger pistons and rings.\n\nAnd as the previous poster wrote you can make it a stroker motor

hi friend! it seems we share the same interest. i do not know which part of the world you r from. i am from India. i can surely provide you with the blue print of a rocket engie, jet engine and rciprocating engine. however i would need your e-mail address for that. mine is\nmangeshome1982@yahoo.co.in\nhope to hear from u soon. i have even designed a new model of piston engine which is a combination of both 2-stroke and 4-stroke engine. just informed you. might be that you could be interested to develop it with me.

you can bolt on the vortec heads how ever you will need the whole top half of the engine...basicly everything but the block...the intake manifold bold hole lacations are changed and at diffrent angles..however i think edelbroke may have an intake and an adapter plate to use excisting equipment...if u wanna do alot of work go for it find a vortec engine

Your subject is somewhat vague, but I believe the web site below can help.\nEnter Valve into their search window. Several device manufacturers are mentioned.\nHope this helps.

If you are putting in an X-pipe then you are doing cat-back but anyway i had bassani on 89 mustang 5.0L with trick flow every thing and it sounded great but i was a little over 400 HP it will depend on your application

Unless you have very expensive machine tools, I suggest you go to the local Hobby store. You can install your own pre-built engine. It's cheaper easier and does not require tools you probably can't afford.

i have never heard of such thing but i think you are talking about a multi carb set up witch gives you more fuel and more air at the motor

My Father in law has plans for building a go cart from a law mower engine.  Give me some contact info and I can get you in touch with him.

i would say not to work on the focus because it is not meant for racing, but i am guessing that u are trying to make the best of what you have..if u put on a turbo, u are basically doubling the power...so i would say change the flows in ur car..i have a friend who blew his engine wit a turbo..remember...turbo comes after headers and block..other than that...the extra air in the engine is gonna end u up in da garage..trust me..focus is not the way to go..if u still want to..let me know..i will let u know wat to do to get best performance..
