Re: [318poly] Fw: new Poly SS-X manifold will be ready in 2 weeks



Man, I think you guys are giving me too much credit for this project.  Thank you for the kudos and I am committed to helping where I can but the aggregate knowledge of everyone on this and other Mopar Mail Lists makes the Poly a viable concern.
 
A bit of background; I was contacted by Roland at Chrysler Power who was impressed with how much power the Poly engine can make after reading my posts...and my Poly Stroker build data and the next thing is he wants to cast the manifold.  Roland is the catalyst behind this project and the big financial risk of taking orders & collecting funds and paying the Foundry; all the stuff I wouldn’t want to be responsible for – hated accounting but enjoyed marketing in College.  This New Poly manifold is a reality because all of “you/us” made it possible by backing up our need/request with pre-orders and I tossed my cash into the pot like the rest of y’all. 
I see my name in the Chrysler Power Magazine articles as “Engineer...” but I am not; just another Polyhead like many of you, but maybe done it a bit longer; being retired allows me to spend A LOT more time on our Mopar stuff.  I was thrilled when Roland and his Chrysler Power Magazine wanted to make this happen and since I live in So. Cal. I was invited to attend the first meetings with Foundry prospects, along with two other people, to bring some Poly specific knowledge to the project and to influence the design.  Having more Poly parts than a man ought to, I supplied a Poly long block to aid the REAL engineer, Javier Vasquez, in developing the kind of manifold we all need.  I was privileged to be able to spend the day with him talking about this manifold and future projects (like the possibility of  HP Poly aluminum heads!) and knew this was the RIGHT person to design a New Poly manifold.  For me working with the Poly engine is “fun” and what retirement should be, doing what you like but couldn’t afford to when you had a growing family.  Another thrill is meeting all the great people on this list and I hope to have the opportunity to meet many more of you “in person” as time rolls on.
 
In the meantime, I will keep you posted on what I hear/see regarding the New Poly intake; pattern should be finished the end of this week and then the “boxes” made for the first castings to be poured...I will give Javier at the Foundry a call soon and let you know what transpires.
 
Take care and thank you!
Gary Pavlovich

Yes but with pistons machined for a poly head/ valve notchs.  Intakes and exhaust.

Pardon my forgetfulness, but those heads will fit LA 318s and 360s,right?

Steve,
 
You are welcome! 
 
I would like to see this manifold project succeed for all our “Polyheads” and if all goes as expected then I will see how many people may be interested in a set of HP Poly Aluminum Heads.
 
Take care and thank you for all your wisdom imparted to this mail list!
Gary

All the manifold and valve cover orders are handled by Roland Osborne of Chrysler Power Magazine and the following is what I cut and pasted from one of his ADs;
roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  Chrysler Power, PO Box 790, Quinlan, TX 75474  888.548.2282   www.chryslerpower.com

Hi Gary, how do we go about ordering these goodies?. Have attached a pick of the poly to date, I am desperate for a 130T fly wheel for her. We are backing the poly with a A833 four speed and have been trying to locate a flywheel for over 12 months.Can you help out mate??.
 
Kind Regards
Justin Halford

“Polyheads,”
 
According to this e-mail from Roland Osborne at Chrysler Power the special $399 + shpg. & handling “pre-order” pricing for the New Poly intake manifold will end on February 15th.
 
Just an FYI if any are still contemplating ordering one of these manifolds at a great price (I have two on order!).

According to word from our foundry this morning, the first Poly SS-X 4bbl “wind tunnel” manifold will be ready in two weeks... Please pass the word that when this first manifold is machined and checked for fit and finish, we will go into production on the first 100 manifolds. Ergo, all who wish to participate in the pre-production special price and festivities of this monumental accomplishment need to do so by February 15.   After that the full racer net/membership/production price ($599) goes into effect... The same applies for our finned aluminum valve covers... Pre-production price of $349-production price $399...
We’d like to thank everyone for their support during this great moment in Chrysler Power history and looking beyond the valve cover release at the same time, we’re considering aluminum heads to fit all A & LA engines-Poly and 318/340/360 small blocks too!
