Wonder if there’d be interest if someone put a kit together
I do have a bare casting at the house, I looked into it around 2019 seemed easier to just do wagler heads. But that doesn’t seem to be an option anymore
Yeah I guess I can see where that would make it a little less feasible. I wonder if Fleece or anyone has ever looked at making older head that bolts on but has the flow of a L5P. You wouldn't think it would be all that hard since the design is pretty much there minus making so it "bolts" on. I'm probably over simplifying it in my mind though. Maybe it would choke it down too much if you made it bolt on...
If you win the lottery, you might as well put an L5P block and rotating assembly under those L5P heads tooYeah I guess I can see where that would make it a little less feasible.

Maybe when I win the lottery I will have L5P heads on my LBZ. Of course that just means it's gonna spool that much faster so I'm just gonna make more TQ and break shit faster.
The tooling cost is very high. Look at the Edelbrock Duramax heads and how long it took to get a product to market. It seems like they have droped any further work since the buy out too... They no longer cast heads for AFR Either after the buy out. AFR picked up there tooling and took it to Buddy Bar.Yeah I guess I can see where that would make it a little less feasible.

Be better off contacting Brodix, last I knew they are one of the only head companies that are NOT owned by a big conglomerateI waited a long time for Edelbrock to release LBZ-LMM heads. I got an in development response for 2 years then they quit responding. My hopes were that it was taking so long because they were integrating the L5P ports into them since the L5P came out just after they released LLY and the LML.
Well it was a nice dream.
The Edelbrock heads sure looked promising....I waited a long time for Edelbrock to release LBZ-LMM heads. I got an in development response for 2 years then they quit responding.

It's deceiving because the L5P doesn't appear to be cut in the center of the valve seat. Just based on that picture the extra flow comes from a better short side radius and the roof isn't going uphill right before the pinch. The giant opening at the intake doesn't help anything, most flow gains or losses are determined within 2in of the valve
Ya I called BS on them spooling 472 (or 476 I don’t recall) until I seen one do it. Of course 4 set of pistons later that guy was done with messing with the L5Ps.
