Sweet alternative to the OS Giken TC24 head

Post by broke »

I've been hitting refresh on this err day for about 3 months now.

It's pretty cool that he's at the running and testing stage now - this started as a CAD design, then a raw casting which he has been working away at to make it into a 6 cylinder version of the Honda K20A heads for the L28.

Been following Derek for a while now too. Very smart dude, he a pattern maker by trade.

He had real issues getting anymore to make him cams so I have been in touch and am hoping I will be making cams for these in the future.

$5k usd raw casting for the head. Not cheap but still going to be 1/3 the price of an OS-G setup.

The K20A head is prob one of the best cylinder heads ever made. What a great idea to base your plans from that,
