New patterns for the top of the head would need to be made out of aluminum, again, and the bottom would also need re cut. The expense would be high, and there is nothing to be gained, in my opinion, for Snyder's as long as the heads sell and work as they are. There are a couple of difficulties I would encounter as I do not have the original 5.5 model or files.
This was "set in stone" long before I came along and if Don felt the need to change things I am certain he would not hesitate to do so. If they get one complaint in every 1000 heads they sell, they are unlikely to see the need to spend the money, and I would not recommend the change, despite the fact that I would stand to benefit in cutting longer tooling. It is a simple matter of economics.
And that is my 2 cent's worth.
