DCI RAM AIR V CYLINDER HEADS
Just found these online while messing around. They are pretty proud of them price wise but it looks like you could build an interesting street motor in the 455 or larger category if you had the coin. Looks like you could roll a tennis ball thru those ports.

I’d like to have a set myself. My understanding is there’s still a good bit of custom work that has to be done. No off the shelf headers, missing water cross-over. I’m not sure how difficult getting the correct pattern cam would be.
Don has posted some pretty impressive pump gas numbers to DCI’s Facebook page though.

There is allot of information in the race section about these heads. The "cool" factor is off the charts with Ram Air V heads. Making the change requires a special cam because of valve layout, Intake manifold and there are no exhaust manifolds. So custom headers also required. So the heads and associated valve train are just the beginning. It would be an eye popping, tongue wagging crowd when you opened the hood for sure. My 62 Catalina may have a set in it's future.

Not a tennis ball, but a Golf ball and 3/4s!

According to his site, he has mad dog doing headers. I do also believe that his intake will fit under many stock hoods.

Yeah Don has mentioned on Facebook at several points that he designed the heads primarily for the high performance street car segment. I think he was targeting 455 and stroker 400 markets.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
