Bigblock 'W2' cylinder heads and Weslake Engine.

[500Jon]

Hi Folks,

Ever heard of 'W2' Smallblock heads?
Well Mother Mopar made BIGBLOCK ones too!
One pair fairly well documented in 'Mopar performance' in the late 1970's.
Yes there were more made and I have a set here in the UK.
These are a more standard looking set-up with open chambers.
Sent to 'WESLAKE ENGINEERING' in Kent UK, circa 1970 for development work.
1969 block with sixpack pistons and shortened Hemi rods.

Currently on offer to Don Garlits Museum.

I thought you were putting that setup in your own car?

Just teasing Mr.Ghoste!

Ran with a modified STR Edelbrock manifold.
SB W2 gasket behind the Weslake Porting plate.
STR with lid off to show runner mods!
