Default feuling 4 valve heads

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the feuling 4 valve
heads as far as reliability reason being I have had one of these complete
set ups for a number of years sitting around and not sure what to do with it.

I have had experience running against 4-valve heads (not Fueling but some cult version of EVO heads), and the challenger was sorely embarrassed by my 95" TC Edelbrock build. Maybe the Fueling heads are indeed a revelation, but you can get massive power from 2-valve heads and avoid the headache of being the Guinea Pig for a "new" idea.

Save your dough.
Have your existing cylinder head castings re-worked.

We made some fancy tooling to flow test those yeeeeears ago.
Wasn't worth the effort.
They are a dud.

There is a website and forum dedicated to Fueling that may be worth taking a look at and a dealer who specialises in them. I haven't seen much about them in HDF.

Default looking for parts for Feuling 4 valve heads

Hello, maybe somebody can help me with information. I am based in Germany and have some issues with a "old HD dragster" and want to bring it back on track just for fun. I have a Feuling 4 valve cylinder head, but somebody tried to repair it and installed too short valves so push rods are damaged. Has anybody information about original length, diameter, angel, spring type and length and so on .....?,
Does anybody know where I can get parts, valves with the right length and diameter as well push rods (RIVERA "TAPER-LITE" HIGH PERFORMANCE PUSH ROD).
Would be a great help for me, any information, contact person or dealers name where I can ask. Send me PN under email: udo.dolze@web.de
Thank you
best regards
Udo
