Default Whatever happened to the ARAO heads?

Did anybody ever get a set running?! It doesn't appear so.

From what I understand, unstable bob gable has the only set still in existence, and is waiting on a block that can handle them to put into his AMX. Also, last I heard he's looking at running at Maxton and shooting for 200+ MPH. Then again, this was about a year ago.

He's been waiting for that for what... like three years or more now?

Last I hard UB had an intake that was ready to go and it was stolen leaving him out a TON of $$$......he already had the heads on a motor.

There was another guy who had them running a LONG time ago, but he's since disappeared too.

Yep, not sure what the hold-up is. I remember reading about that longer than three years ago.

Bert endeavor?


I assume these heads will never be actually run. Just wanted to see if I missed it. I have no personal interest in running them.

I think it was the other guy who had the intake stolen not unstable bob.

Either way IMO these things are IMO going to always be the bench racer's dream and nothing more, even if someone got a set running in a car and down the track.

Not going to read through it but I thought this was the guy who had parts stolen.

It's amazing that these heads have been around for over a decade and never once have we seen them on an engine actually working.

This is an LT forum. Try a different forum.
