Yah id have to agree, thats bordering on porn!

Looks like dyno headers only?? Or maybe a T bucket??

Mann that thing ought to pull down at least 250 hp........ at idle!!

Re: 445cid Windsor Stroker

Those are dyno headers only. I had to buy my own set because very few dyno operators that I've found have a set of headers to fit TW-R heads. My guy didn't, so I had these custom made to fit the characteristics of the engine. My dyno guy is top notch though...since I had to buy a set of headers just so I could use his dyno, he's going to buy them from me when we're through. So really, I wasn't out anything.

If anyone needs a set of headers made, these were done by Zemco Speed in Tower City, PA. These were $290, built to my spec, with O2 bungs and 2" tubes.

Re: 445cid Windsor Stroker

LOL, I've had this dyno spot saved for 8 weeks. Now, the day before I'm set to dyno, we are to get 6-8" of snow. Had to cancel and reschedule for next weekend.

Had to also get a set of plug wires that would go under the headers...as you can see, the straight boot ones won't cut it.
