History of the ported VW head? Styles that have come and went....
.:
Sarge, those Vittone/Fukaya angle port heads sold for $1,500.00 on the Samba a few years ago.
I missed them buy just a few minutes !
:'(

somewhere I have an old Hot VWs article about the angle flow heads. Pretty innovative.
Also, Autocraft, in the 70's or 80's made those midget race heads that were a VW rocker chamber and valve-cover rail that was screwed to a brand new aftermarket casting. They were wild to say the least. The intake ports were HUGE. I think Autocraft offered a less radical VW based head too, welded up and had intake manifold studs moved out probably 3/4" each way, and a huge rectangular intake port. A friend of mine went an easy 12.00's with these heads on his street 2332 in a street car. Wild stuff.
Now what about those strange Berg "split port" IDA manifolds in the old catalogs.....WTF were those for?
Thanks again Sarge for the wisdom from the past....you da man!
;D

When was the mini d port introduced? A great head for street motors that need port velocity for bottom end torque. Nice small ports which, I assume, do not even require welding on a stock dual port head. I got my L5 heads from DRD and I think that Darren used to work for Steve and Greg Tims ???
I always thought it would be cool to get a set of heads from Fumio because he was around when everything was booming.
