Visners business is making billet cylinder heads for many different brands and applications. Speaking with David at PRI, we talked at length about the cost of development and the profits associated with production.
Cast iron cylinder head cost point can be reduced based on the number of units sold, so like any business man would ask, how many cast units could be sold? High end production cast cylinder heads from Profiler, Dart and others for BBC and SBC would range from $5,000 to $8,000 ready to bolt on, so how many sets of Pontiac heads could be sold in a year at those price points? Add new manifolds, valve covers and other items and the cost to change over a race engine would be around $10k to $13k.
