I wasn't bull$hittin. This was a relatively quick model of a tall port race-ready head for the 3800. This has been on my mind for years. I like the look of the SB2 and Mopar W9 heads. My enthusiasm for this project was dampened with the rumour of the LV3 gen v ls based V6 allegedly due next year.
Tickling 300 cfm with a 1.89" intake valve, and the minimum port area is no bigger than the stock gasket! Right about 400 bhp on a streetable engine - big lope and pump gas. Relocated exhaust port flange. Requires custom intake, coolant cross over/valley tray, valve covers, shaft mounted rockers, valves and header flanges. As it stands, I could have this machined, bolt them up and make power...ethanol only - the accessory bosses are not shown.
In reality, I need to start with peanut ports and develop the ports. Someone has already approached me to make this...I'm still open to this project
I may have connections to have this cast with coolant jackets. Realistic price would be below ZZP's, even with the required hardware, and they've ended production. Even as cast they'd bury the ZZP head.
