Well I have been waiting for a long while to get everything together. I finally have my Moldex billet crank, Indy block, CNC300 heads and 3x Dominator intake. Still a long way to go. Getting ready to haul all of it to Performance Automotive in Bethalto, Il. I have had them do machine work for me before with excellent results. Next thing is a full blueprint and pressure test to correct any issues and then I can finally order pistons and rods. They are a month and a half behind so this probably wont be in the car until next spring. There are some photos on the front of Indy's Facebook page showing it off.

Looks great. I would certainly build one if I ever had the funds. Any signs of porosity in the Indy block? I heard a while back they were having some problems at the foundry. Bob tufcj

Those pictures were from Indy that they posted on facebook. I'm not actually going to de-palletize and unwrap before it gets to the machine shop. It will be inspected with a fine tooth comb when it gets there and I will report any issues at that time.

ok...i could not help but to pull a head off of the pallet and take it to my friend who a very good head porter in my area and has a super flow 600 bench. So anyway........ All we did was look at the heads in particular. The casting look ok ... no noticeable problem there. They are getting pressure checked to ensure there is no issues before we do anything to them. The valve job is horrible and will have to be redone. My wide ported SR heads with a 2.125 valve and 260 cc intake volume is the comparison and on the same bench I will add. At .750 lift my wide ported heads with the pushrod moved over and offset lifters/rocker arms flowed a peak of 343 cfm at .750 lift. And I will add over 300 cfm at .500 lift. The CNC 300 heads on the same flow bench as delivered were at a peak of 365cfm on the intake. The exhaust was much better than the SR head. So..my wide ported SR heads at 260 CC and a 2.125 valve are within 20 cfm of the as delivered CNC 300 heads with a 2.250 valve. This really suprised me as I thought my SR heads wouldn't even be close to the CNC300 head. Looks like these CNC300 heads are going to have to go under the knife so to speak to get their potential out of them. I didn't expect that. Edited by DragRacingSpirit - May/27/2022 at 3:07pm |

Awesome to see another Indy block being built. My friend acquired a Indy block and all components. Hopefully real soon, dyno time. I was a running motor, it just had a few upgrades ( cam and two carbs). It also has Fred Brewer heads. Best of luck!!!

I think the Brewer heads might be the way to go if they are a set of decent casting. The only other problem I can think of is they are not going to fit the Indy Blocks pattern of the lower head bolts. I wonder if the water ports all line up with the block?

These Heads have extra material for the head bolts. Not sure on the history on that. Only the small holes don't line up and a little work with a hand grinder fixes that.
