Bought W5 Heads & W7 Intake
The same guy (Pete) who sold me his R1A race block also had a really nice set of W5 heads and W7 intake. Ryan Johnson at Shady Dell Speed Shop sold them to this guy. I asked Ryan about these and this is what he had to say about them:
“Those W5′s he has are KILLER….I forgot he even had them…. those have been angle milled to 16 degree, & have some of nicest port work I’ve seen. I did not port them, but I bought them from someone already done & sold them to Pete. They were done by a Nascar shop for a circle track motor & never used. The intake has about 100 hours in port work in it.
I do not remember in what state I sold the heads to Pete (this was at least 3 years ago) I think they were bare but do not remember. I believe all the machine work was done (valve job, drainbacks, surfacing etc) I may have set them up with valves & springs, but you’d have to ask him, as I don’t remember.
Those heads will support BIG power… I could make 720+ with them.”
Ryan has built dozens of W5 motors and if he is this enthusiastic about these heads then they must be really nice. Pete said that Ryan flowed the heads and they came out 339 at 0.700″ lift.
