Feuling 'Centerfire' Cylinder Head Passes CARB Testing
    VENTURA, Calif., June 17 -- The California Air Resources
Board (CARB) has issued E.O. # D-481 to Feuling R&D for their "Centerfire" two
valve cylinder head designed for the big block GM engine including the Vortec
7400 and earlier 454 C.I. engines.
    Testing on the Vortec 7400 recorded tail pipe emissions at levels 25%
cleaner than California emission standards.  "Centerfire" cylinder heads are
now available for sale in all 50 states.
    The new cylinder head is the latest design to come from the mind of Jim
Feuling, president and founder of Feuling R&D.  Utilizing the patented "Max
Flow" valve design, "Centerfire" combustion chamber, and "High Velocity"
intake and exhaust ports, these cylinder heads "bolt on" up to 100 lbs/ft of
torque and 100 horsepower.  These features increase thermal efficiency, octane
tolerance, and lower brake specific fuel consumption for improved gas mileage.
    Jim Feuling has been an automotive pioneer for over 25 years and has
developed products for O.E. manufacturers like Ford Motor Co., Chevrolet,
Oldsmobile, and Harley-Davidson.  The "Centerfire" head was designed
specifically for the motorhome, tow vehicle, sportboat and mid-size cruiser
markets.  February '99 and March '99 articles in Hot Rod magazine feature this
revolutionary new design.
    Prices for the complete kit start at $2,995.00.  For more information,
