Can anybody post the picture of the head on here? I'm not finding it with the link. The text on the video that shows Darin talking about the 1250 horsepower Pontiac build says it has Tigers.

There is "a reason" he is the King. He sent me pictures of his Tigers when they were doing the CV-juan conversion. They're unique. I doubt they would be mistaken for any other Pontiac head.

Dwight's Tiger headed engine

Didn't Dwight run Tigers for a while? The only Pontiac NA engine I know of in the power range would be Langer ( maybe before the CV Juan conversion) Dwight or Snider.

Hi Scott, yes Dwight did. Then he switched to Warp heads. I'm thinking since another shop did most of Snyder's engine, I wouldn't think the BES guys would be using it as an example at one of their seminars.

So what? The motor was built for a specific big cube class. No canted valves Pontiac allowed. At that time no one had broken 1200 much less 1250.

In a purpose built early bird that’s never made a pass.
