- That's exactly what I thought when they told me that. The story,
- however, is that they've had a number of requests for such an item,
- mainly from people who want to run the Dart heads on the 9.2" deck
- Cleveland style SVO block. Steel cranks are available to fit the
- Cleveland, while all Windsor were cast. It's still .200 higher than a
- Chevy, so they can stuff in long rods without much trouble, though
- they're standard on the Windsor, etc. The Windsor-style Dart heads are
- also considerably smaller than the Cleveland heads, and it'd be easier
- to slide them into a tight place on a 9.2 block than a 9.5 block.
-
- Hey, people asked them to make it, and since Gary runs "made as you
- order" it's no problem. He's thickening up the head flanges on the
- standard Track BOSS casting so he can cut it down to Cleveland height.
- Voila! <grin>
