Re: Anyone run a Lion Head
I have a feeling that if someone has an unknown engine they may not want to increase compression. I was thinking about the 6 to 1 but I hope to talk to Tod about a 7 to 1 if he is making them.

Re: Anyone run a Lion Head
Would that work on a stock engine or would I need to change the cab intake etc.? I am just looking for something to help the Mitchell I will be getting soon.
Thanks
Ron

Re: Anyone run a Lion Head

Re: Anyone run a Lion Head
This is one of the reasons I am leaning to a stock style high compression head. All I want from my Model A in terms of speed is for it to travel at 60mph for extended periods of time when needed. ...

Re: Anyone run a Lion Head
Thanks Brent
I appreciate your feedback. You did give a more favorable impression of the 6 to 1 head and I do like the fact that that one looks stock. I will continue to put on the miles, talk to...

Re: Anyone run a Lion Head
[QUOTE=BRENT in 10-uh-C;2014019]Yes, actually twice. FWIW, both were dissatisfied customers, -but don't let that discourage you. If the Lion head is what you want, then by all means bolt one on. ...
