As already covered in another thread, CHI headed Ford SBCs won 4 of the top 5 and the overall top position in the Engine Masters Challenge. As ManOWar has said, the winner used a World block.

And all used CHI heads. And maybe half the total entrants also used the CHI head. However, there doesn't seem to be a rush to this Clevor combination here.

Intakes are not a problem, as CHI provides them. They also provide a Windsor water passage adapter. Exhaust would probably have to be custom.

My question is: why hasn't anyone considered this combo? Because of the exhaust issues? Because the cost (aftermarket block and $2500 heads) approaches a low-end FE? Because 530-540 hp average from 2500-6500 with a 600-680hp peak is too much for street driving in a 2500# car? (Although CHI has versions for smaller displacement). Because none of the major Ford crate engine manufacturers offer a CHI headed engine?

Thanks,

David
