Re: How to ID a camel back or camel hump head, and what good are they?
Double bump, 'camel' or 'fuelie' heads are good heads but they are generally dated.
That said, there are a lot of intelligently and correctly built vintage motors running around with them that will easily outperform a slap together vortec head job. Guys were running 12 second quarter mile times with all that 'old/vintage' machinery all day long. You would be hard pressed to find a lot of modern guys being able to match those numbers with generic modern engine bolt-on/builds. True vehicle performance is an intelligent and well selected combination of parts and set-up. It doesn't reside much in a couple of modern new tech parts.....at least at the end of the quarter mile. My two bits. Coley
