As a foundry man/pattern maker ive been wanting to make a better flowing head..16 port?
I have the ability to make the patterns and cast them. Computer software is where I stop. Im old fashion and put everything on paper. Perhaps we can collaborate on this project

Several years ago there were posts concerning the need for a new design/better breathing head for the old straight eights. This intrigued me as I teach Computed Aided Design (CAD) in an Engineering Tech. Dept. of a state university.
I began to play around with potential designs of both push-rod and SOHC designs. Attached is an example of some experimentation I have been involved with.
New cylinder head designs are very time consuming and expensive to create and produce due to the need for coolant passages and the necessary casting cores. I have explored the possibility of designing/producing a new two component that is produced via CNC milling then furnace brazing the to head halves together. Yes, even aluminum can be furnace brazed. Can this be done? I think it can. However I have not yet explored the costs of utilizing this process.
