Got this today from Mike Pierce, worth passing on: ==================================== On January 18, 2011, Chase Knight of Crane Cams inspected and compared the new SSAMX reintroduction cylinder head to an original SSAMX cylinder head. Flow reports and complete build specs. were furnished for both the new and the original heads for his comments. Chase Knight gave approval to begin production of Crane SSAMX reintroduction cylinder heads that are produced from the CNC program developed from the original Crane SSAMX head. Initial Crane SSAMX reintroduction cylinder heads should be available for sale in spring of 2011. These heads will be magnafluxed and inspected 318 8558 castings with the approved CNC machining performed on them. They will include new valve guides, Manley Valves, and Crane springs, keepers, retainers and seals of the superceded or original part numbers Crane used on the originals. They will set up for flat tappet cam installation. These Crane SSAMX reintroduction cylinder heads are not reproduction pieces but will be considered a reintroduction of the original pieces produced in 1969 by Crane for the SSAMX . NHRA has been contacted and their original approval for this head is still active. Other pieces that are available or will soon be available are: Reintroduction Doug Thorley SSAMX Headers ( Rectangle and Dog-Leg) Reintroduction Doug Thorley Scrambler Headers (Rectangle and Dog-Leg) w/ slip tube JE Reintroduction SSAMX Pistons ( std., .010, .020,.030) BHJ SFI Balancers 1969 390 SSAMX short block assembly with: JE .030 SSAMX pistons/rings Crane Flat Tappet Cam (specs. by H.L.
