Close but no go .Thats why he is a car guy.
thought so.
76 XL has cast iron head. shovel has cast alloy head.
but in old days I did see a few Shov-sters, they normally had a big bore & shovel heads, I don't think shove head in itself was a better performing head, I think the Ironheads probably worked better, but was mostly weight saving. I think new to HD or car people look at IronHead rocker box & think Shovel, but ironed has a notch in middle and straight valve train.
That's why the called them Iron-Heads :smilep: and the rocker boxes look similar to a Shovel, so I"m thinking He just didn't know what he was looking at :idunno:
I have an 07' sporty shovel.....pan.........dang, I gotta ask Danny what I have. :embarrassed:
