FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

This sounds interesting...
I don't know any more about it than this small snippet on oldtimespeedway.com

If he is serious, it will be great.  I hope he doesn't get inundated with 'gunners' full of promises and empty wallets.  Still if he can build a Crossflow head, he probably isn't likely to be a mug.

NEW REPRODUCTION HIGH POWER CROSSFLOW CYLINDER HEADS
FOR HOLDEN SIDEPLATE GREY MOTOR


Cylinder head, tappet cover and cam follower caps contact Rod Scheffler ph: 0427 231 119

It is a bare cast iron cylinder head,  It will be machined except for valve seats.Valve sizes are as per original.  It is left up to the individual to have seats cut, hand  porting and flow testing done.You might want to install bigger valves etc. 
Valves made to order contact Eddie Woods ph: 03 9553 2517

Spring Pads have more metal under them to allow for deeper spring recess - spring installed height 1.700” which allows the use of small block Chevy Springs which work well with Holden Cams.
 
Three extra rocker post pads are installed on the exhaust side of the head.  There was a problem originally,causing breakage as a result of not enough posts on the long shaft.

Cracking Problems on original heads?

I know many people who have the original heads.  None of those are cracked although we believe that quite a few heads were used in boats which used unregulated cooling systems.  We suspect this caused the cracking and also speculation suggests that inconsistent heat treatment of the cylinder head could also have caused problems.  We have this problem covered.

PRICE & AVAILABILITY OF THESE HEADS:  If everything goes according to plan. 
Heads should be available by December 2008.Price of the Cylinder Head and Tappet
Cover including GST $5,500.00
