    I've seen one set... and they were in a storage container in California full of a ton of other rare heads. They were big and beefy...

    kong heads for sale on ebay now.the are awesome looking.
     
  10. Kong was a good friend of mine. I started hanging out in his shop when I was 12 years old. Even at that age, I knew there was some cool stuff going on. I didn't "get" the hot rod 4 bangers. I didn't get the flatheads. The history hanging on the walls didn't mean much to me then. It does now..

    I have one Kong single plug head put away with Mr. Jacksons Craftsman timing light.

    As for the o/p's question... Yes I have. One set sitting on a shelf.

    Don Orosco is repoping them. Usually has a ad in Hemmings Motor News Race Car parts section.
     
  12. Notch Gonzales has them on his truck here in San Jose if I recall correctly.

    I had one of the last original un-used sets that were heat treated and decked but had no holes drilled. the heads are solid alluminum above the cylinder for adding the dual plugs. it was my understanding that all kong heads could be drilled for dual plugs.
    I sold my set for $3000.00

    Tman... that would be really neat.

    The hi perf V860 crowd that could utilize a beefy KONG head is quite small, I just have to wonder if people would be willing to pay for a novelty item.
     
  27. Plug holes not drilled???? :confused:
     
  28. You have a PM
