FullAuto - Last Call

[marshg246]

Some time back, FullAuto sold to STS in Florida and the heads became available again. Several were selling them including AN. Then STS itself was sold and the new owners weren't interested in that business. Learn more: https://coloradonortonworks.net/sts-fullauto-head.html

If you want one of these heads, now is the (last) time to get one. In discussing with Matt at cNw, he has them with some options and may be willing to install the valves and springs. He also has an option to provide a complete ARP kit. He suggests using your existing rockers as they are very expensive.

If you're not comfortable making the head ready to install and you have a head with good rockers, I might be able to help with that.

If I could source the correct material this is a project I would immediately press the button on. Trying to find the equivalent of RR53B is proving real hard, even our cast metals federation are not much help. Specialist aluminium ingot suppliers in the UK and europe can't suggest an alterantive, the nearest they get is an RR spec alloy but they don't know how it would cast. Aluminium that is just low expansion and high temp is not good enough. Prior to covid I had a smelter who would provide 2.2T of the RR53B but now they are no longer interested in doing a batch.

Hope that this will be possible. It would be terrible if these heads were to vanish from the market (even though I don't actually need one now)

Immediately regretting not jumping on that last 750 head when there was 1 left as of last week. Damn.

Just noticed that the 850 heads are going fast - he's down to 12 and had 21 when I started this thread.

He who hesitates. I hesitated for a while but lucky i got it. Now to start saving again for the nikasil barrel, JS rods and pistons, BSA lifters, etc. One very over capitalised 750, but should be nice. Graham
