The write up sounds awesome but so is the price. Anyone have experience with these? I am building essentially a 2549. I have some good big valve heads that are ported, 44 intake valves 36 exhaust valves, dual springs, and chromoly retainers but may not flow as well as these. Not looking to build the beast of all engines but I am in so deep it is hard to stop. But $3,700 for heads is steep. Likely not as good but AA has similar heads for just over $2K. I think my current heads may leave some flow on the table but is really hard to justify the money unless someone else has an experience that makes this a requirement.
LE-200 Castings: AMC Chambers: CNC machined 2.0 914 Chamber Step: 95.0 x 1.0mm * Plug angle: 2.0 914 Plug size: M12 Valve sizes: 44mm x 38mm by Manley Springs: Premium dual Crower set for 160lbs seat pressure & 330lbs at .520” valve lift. Retainers: Crower Chromoly Keepers: Hardened and ground for clearance Intake Ports: Fully CNC machined with hand finished details. Exhaust Ports: Fully CNC machined with hand finishing. Introduced in 2004, the LE-200’s have become the benchmark for superior high-end performance Type 4 engines. So named because they represent the Leading Edge of technology and the intake ports flowed 200CFM @ .500” valve lift, a value they exceeded by the 2nd version. The exhaust ports average flow is 75-77% of the average intake port flow. |
