The head isn't dead!!!!
 

I took a trip to upstate NY yesterday to see what was going on with "project Dominion." For those that aren't familiar w/ what I'm doing, I have a set of very rare Dominion 32V LT1 heads. Pictures of the heads are below. I have a 396 CI engine being built with these heads by Bret Bauer at Bauer Racing. What is happening now is Bret wasn't happy with the port configuration, valve sizes, or rocker arm set up. So, he is basically changing all these areas so the heads will be much more efficient. The engine is still quite a ways from being done, but I'm impressed with his plans. And here is a link if anyone wants to see picts of the "ultimate" LT1 block I'm using.

It's HEAD!

Glad to hear things are still progressing....

Yep, HEAD is livin' large in NY. :)

I still remember meeting HEAD years ago at the Fudds on 22.....you pulled it out of the back of the Riv and showed it off a bit.

Yeah, that was a loooong time ago. But then again, HEAD has been in my life since the last century...:shock:

I have not yet had the priveledge of meeting HEAD

so you got HEAD last century, gave HEAD to this guy in NY, and he's been working on improving your HEAD ever since?

Bob,

Kudos to you for having the balls to attack a project like this, especially wallet-first. When it's done it will turn heads, that's for sure.

Yes, no, yes.

Wize azz Fidget. :D

Thanks, Bill. Well, I really didn't/don't have a choice but work it through. I tried selling the stuff a few years back, and nobody even came remotely close to my price. So, it was "Dayum the torpedos, full steam ahead!"
I have a lot of faith in Bret's abilities to pull this project off. The stuff I saw at his shop yesterday blew my mind! :shock: It's taking time, but you as a car guy know that nothing comes easy. :)

i see heads twin valve cover, but does he have a twin head? becasue ive only seen pics of one head at a time?

its a great big head conspiracy

I'm building a 4 cylinder V8.

sweet that will go well with the direct exhaust injection, and single bank turbo

Them exhaust ports look might large....:shock:

Calls for AT LEAST a 2 inch primary pipe hedda...:mrgreen:

What car are you going to put this in?

The AMX

The Cavalier.

The cavalier is where he gets the best HEAD. Nothing better than a good HEAD job in a rock solid Chevy. With the size of those ports, I think we will see some very nice HP numba's

ok you ruined it

rofl

:-x:-x:-x:-x:-x

I've seen said HEAD in person and it's a mighty badass sight. Can't wait for it to get done.
