He has one of those heads on display in his front showroom. Same guy that did the 16V pushrod heads a few years back. Neat shop, when I was there to get some balancing done, he was doing a V8 of some sort that was going racing at Bonneville. Super nice guy,
Sorry this doesn't say much about his heads. Title: Re: Arao Hemi Heads for VWs Post by: alex d on February 25, 2009, 21:09:04 pm how awesomel is that! I wonder how well do they cool, apparently finning does not look very extensive to say the least!
