forgive my ignorance, american cars are fairly new to me. What is the significance of the ardun motor
Dude, either go and do your homework and find out why that thing has a $30K buy-it-now, or just go back to drinkin your pabst... I'll give ya a headstart... do a hamb search for as far back as you can on ARDUN
Pabstbelly, Start by doing a google search on Zora Arkus Duntov. There is a lot written about the man because he made a lot of automotive history. I cheated you out of a "L" in your name as punishment for not knowing
Get the latest issue of The Rodder's Journal for some excellent info on the Ardun. Problem is, after reading it you'll want one too!!!
I think you mean 13K. I,m glad I bought mine 18 years ago.i could not afford them now. How many of you guys know that duntov made 2 different types of Ardun head.The first couple of hundred heads have the water necks on the front of the head.The rest have the outlet in the middle-Opposite of a flathead. My heads are numbered 242 and 243.

Arduns are cool, no question. But if I have a set of those heads I'd sell them and build an entire car with the proceeds. And at a $30K sales price that car could easily have an aluminum-block FE for power...
