$450.00 + Ship

Updated 6-19-08

 Call to get on list for OCTOBER - Demand is high.  Sold out again**, before we even shipped a single one. Get on waiting list with $25 deposit.

** There is a slim chance that I might have one or two heads left but this can not be determined untill all existing orders are filled, which should be by 6-23.

 *$25 Deposit Required!

Dyno'd with Slightly Modified chambers at:  115.41 HP @ 3500 rpm @ 7.25:1 CR with 183 ft # Torque @ 1700 rpm.

Dyno'd  Out Of The Box  At: 92.96 HP @ 3200 rpm @ 6.50:1 CR with 171.91 ft# torque @2000 rpm

As tested by Piranio's Antique Automotive. See the dyno sheets linked here: (www.modelaparts.net/dynosheets.htm/lionstk.htm)

Note: Piranio's cc measurements differ from ours. He measures our advertised 7:1cr head to be a 6:5cr. Both are probably correct due to slightly different measuring methods.

   SECURE YOUR future HEAD WITH A $25 DEPOSIT  

* DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE *

*In the past we have had buyers order a head and then take a pass when ready to ship. So, the small deposit is to guarantee that you get head from the next production run and is non-refundable to cover our costs if you need to back out.

 

ACCORDING TO THOSE THAT OWN A LION SPEED HEAD, THIS HEAD MAY BE THE MOST POWERFUL AND EFFICIENT HIGH COMPRESSION HEAD FOR FORD MODEL A'S EVER MADE. . . . TIME WILL TELL!

 

$450.00 + ship

IGNITION CAP & WIRE SYSTEMS AVAILABLE BUT NOT INCLUDED

 

 

   

Cast Iron!

High compression for serious drivers. Two compression ratios: 6:1 and 7:1.  

A direct bolt on. The Lion increases horse power and torque, it makes the engine run smoother, saves fuel, is easier to tune, runs cooler and really looks

HOT-HOT-HOT!

 

 

Our cylinder head has the highest level of machined quality and precision available in the industry. The gasket fit has the closest tolerances ever produced.

 
 
 

Cast Iron!

Combustion chambers are precision machined to exacting size for an excellent gasket fit.  The special CNC computer program gently carves out the combustion chamber and mills in a fly-cut above the piston.

 

 
 
 

 Uses stock Model "A" head" gasket, stock Model "A" water pump, distributor and studs. 

NOTE THE PRECISE GASKET FIT. VERY HARD TO FIND THIS KIND OF QUALITY IN ANY OTHER MODEL "A" HEAD EVER MADE.

 

 
 
 

 

Ignition fires with common 14mm, 3/4" reach, flat seat with a ring gasket, spark plugs, which are dead center above the piston.

 

 

 

 

The Lion is King!

The Lion is quickly proving to be one of the most powerful and effective high compression heads, pound for pound, inch for inch ever made.

 

 
*Field use of this head is producing more HP, torque and speed than any of us ever expected.
  ALUMINUM VS CAST IRON

I’m often asked why we make our cylinder heads in cast iron instead of lighter aluminum. 1) Cast iron is era correct. 2) Cast iron holds operating temperatures even and constant, which translates into solid horse power gains. 3) Aluminum expands and contracts faster and greater than cast iron. Some hot aluminum heads grow as much a 3/32" in length, which breaks gasket seals, stresses the stud/nut torque, causes gasket leaks and leads to premature blown head gaskets. Cast iron expands and contracts at the same rate as the block. 4) Aluminum becomes the sacrificial metal and electrolysis eats (rots) the insides away causing weakness in the walls and water jacket edges.

I have seen aluminum heads, after running one season, where you could actually take a spoon and scoop out the rot. Hidden and unseen aluminum water jackets can be protected, I’m told, at a greater expense and worry.

 
     
   

We cast the Lion Speed Head TWO times a year. . . . Please place your order in advance.
