  • Esslinger Head?

    I got this head from Esslinger, but my Exhaust won't hook up to it? I think I'm going to have a hard time making the Intake work too.

    Mike Fleming, do you have any ideas for me?

          Isn't that the head that pulls about 2500 new?

            Mike -

            Screw the d-port head.

            We still have a street race planned, don't we?

              I had coupons for Burger King, but this may turn out to be a Damon's or Northwoods Inn ride.

                HaHa!

                Mike don't worry - Chris came by today with his new ARCA head, and I had to give you a jest. You still have me beat.....maybe?

                Seriously,

                The ports on the ARCA are unreal. Just plain bad a$$. Unbelievable what Esslinger has done this head flow.

                Here is a picture of the iron head next to the ARCA.

                    In honor of you, no less. Your eloquence - that's what I like about you.

                        Something looks familiar in that picture but I just cant make it out.... Who did the hack-job porting on that iron head? I'd try and get your money back.

                          looks a hellva lot better then my hack job of a porting on my head.

                          btw, boport, that avatar is beautiful.

                          back on topic, is the ARCA head any good for boosted applications? looks like you'd need a big dish piston to get anywhere near a boostable compression ratio.

                              Bob, who did the hack-job on your ARCA head? Oh! the same Bauregard who did mine! - I get it.

                              Gotta love those ports - huh! I never really studied a ARCA head before, but wow, it is a pretty site. I can only imagine what it looks like after Bo got thru with it.

                              Alex L - I have heard that these heads work very well under boost and high RPM. Not your daily driver though.
