The Ford Barn - View Single Post - An interesting idea regarding cylinder heads.

Group buys are not a new concept, been around for a while.

I know that in the past, especially with OHV heads there is a minimum of castings to be made in a batch. But due to the cost of a fully finished assembly there is always a couple that are sold as just castings. These seem to never be finished, or, someone makes an attempt without the proper machinery and get ruined. I have been lucky in the last couple years, I have found castings without any machining and they are a perfect candidate to finish.

Clubs would be a logical place to work something like this.
