The only aluminum "B" heads at the time I built that engine were the B1 Heads like mine, MP Stage VI, Indy 440-1 and possibly the B1 "No BS" heads.
My engine specs were as follows: It displaced 511 inches. 4.375 bore x 4.25 stroke. The crank was a welded stroker done by Chrome-A-Shaft, internally balanced, counter weights were knife-edged and the journals were hard-chromed. Rods were Child's and Albert's 426 forgings, 7.043" long. Pistons were horizontally gas ported Arias flat-tops and due to the 68cc chambers still made 12.9:1 compression. Wrist pins were 1.09" diameter tool steel taper walled. I don't recall the length or outside taper thickness, but the centers were .140" thick. Rings were Speed Pro Hellfire .0625", .0625", .1875" standard tension. Block was a 1974 vintage that was filled with HardBlok and fitted with with Koffel's Billet Aluminum Main Caps (supposed to cushion the mains from detonation) and ARP Head And Main Studs. Oil Pan was built in Fon Du Lac by some guys that used to race a Pro Stock Hemi, I don't recall their names anymore. Oil system was a Milodon dual line with swinging pick-up. Cam was an Isky solid roller, specs were .748 ~ 288° intake, .741 ~ 296° exhaust, 111° LC
Heads were Brodix B1 castings, the kit was purchased from Koffel's Place. The rockers, rocker covers, valves, and intake were all included. Valve sizes were 2.3" Intake , 1.78" exhaust. 68cc Chambers. Push rods were Push Rod Factory .40625" diameter, heavy wall chrome-moly. All valve work, porting, intake and assembly was done by Pete Williams at R&J Performance in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Carb was an 08896 1050 Dominator done by Barry Grant. I dropped that motor in with the stock motor mounts and then trailered the car up to Schneider (CRD) for one of his motor plates and to have him make the headers. Headers were 2.25" X 4.5." The rest of the exhaust was comprised of two 5 ft lengths of 4.5" pipe, 4.5" Flowmaster "Shoot-Out" Mufflers dumped in front of the rear axle.

A little "neat" Nascar history, since we're bringing one-of and prototype/experimental engines:
The DOHC Mopar Hemi:
Mopar was ready if Nascar would allow OHC engines, they were ready with this DOHC screamer to answer the ford SOHC 427... with an est. 600ft-lbs of torque, 750+hp as the inset says. Almost wish France wasn't so dye-in-the-wool convinced of sticking to cam in block engines
1979 Lil' Red Express -Officially the quickest "bolt-on" LRT in the country.
1989 Shelby CSX #500/500
The most powerful production Minivan, ever...
