Small Blocks > Big Blocks - we said what we said.

In all seriousness, these 4.500BS SBC Heads from @brodix are pretty trick!

Nothing over top with this set. Just a good thorough freshen up to prepare them for 1000 grueling miles at Baja.

They’re boujee. They’re billet. They’re… Oldsmobile?

Billet Oldsmobile Valve Covers! One of our flag ship products.

These are, in our opinion, amongst the nicest available valve covers for any application currently on the market. Deliberately designed to *pop* under the hood, with numerous anodizing & engraving options to custom tailor it to the end user’s hot rod.

Did we mention that these crisp finishes are provided by @pappytoolandmachineco’s incredibly coolant from Cadillac Oil? These products have to be right, and we trust Pappy’s Coolant to leave us with finishes that are out of this world, with minimal drag out on the parts.

A high performance coolant, for a high performance product 💪

How much effort do you put in your products?

If the answer isn’t “all of it” - you’re doing it wrong.

We’re proofing through another porting program variant of this @edelbrock 2956 Pontiac Victor Jr. Intake Manifold for @butlerperformance, and they’re turning out fantastic!

If you commit to the quality of the product you provide, the quality of customer you wish to reach will find you.

CNC Porting isn’t hard…

But it can be tedious, and preparation is everything!

Let’s port match this Edelbrock 2956 Manifold for Butler Performance. We scanned this manifold earlier this year, and are beginning to work through the programming & production of 3 different port matching programs to pair with Butler’s CNC Ported Pontiac offerings!

Engineer by degree, cowboy by spirit, machinist by trade. Giddy-up and G-code.

Yeehaw, partner!

So, “good enough” isn’t your cup of tea…

We felt that.

This all billet LS7 Supercharger Manifold for the @bluecollar56official is elite.

4G63 Billet Header Flanges for @archerfabrications 🔥

Kyle’s caliber of work commands a flange that’s equally complimentary, and that’s where we are proud to step in and deliver. Working with companies that have such a reverence for the minute details is a privilege, and we are proud to be seen amongst them.

Like these finishes? They’re made possible with coolant & tooling from @pappytoolandmachineco! Stainless can be cumbersome on tool lives, and we’re seeing success with relative ease with Pappy Tool in our corner.

High stakes one-offs? Yikes!

When you starting throwing around the word “custom”, it always makes a project a bit more tedious. Fortunately this custom set of flanges for a Batten Oldsmobile posed no threat, and we steam rolled through it with ease.

Oh, and this stainless part is flat… 🫣.

Every year, Drag Illustrated names 30 people under 30 who are pushing drag racing forward. The list has included tuners, fabricators, crew members, track officials, promoters, and people building things behind the scenes and I would love to be nominated! I have spent my childhood drag racing and my young adult life building a business that helps drag racers reach their dreams.

Nominations are open now through September 30. If you’ve raced with me, bought parts from us, or watched this shop grow, I’d be grateful for a nomination - if those boxes are checked, be sure to nominate Peyton Hunt, from PDD!

If you know someone else who deserves it, now’s the time. A young racer, a crew guy who never gets credit, a tuner, a track worker, a fabricator. This sport runs on people who put in the hours behind the scene. You can nominate more than one person. It takes a few minutes and could mean a lot to them.

Nominate here: http://www.dragillustrated.com/nominate

Deadline: Wednesday, Sept. 30

I’m not here to meet the standard. I’m here to set it.

Performance. Precision. Unparalleled Perfection.

What do you think about this 🔥

We machined a custom LS7 Supercharger Intake for the @bluecollar56official, and it turned out MINT!

Crisp Finishes. Precision Machined. 100% O-Ringed.

This will sit atop Austin’s 427” LS7, underneath a 8-71 from TBS. This is a serious build - and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have been a small part of it! We talked with Austin in depth about this project, and I knew going in that his expectations for this build fell nothing short of perfection. We stepped up, and delivered exactly what was needed to ensure our part in this build meets that expectation.

This type of collaboration is exactly why PDD came to exist. It doesn’t get any better than this.

We’ve got a soft spot for all things Oldsmobile…

It’s only fitting we did these billet header flanges for the CJ Batten Oldsmobile Castings!

Our Batten Series flange is different. It’s 3D contoured to the exhaust port, not just flat-faced — giving you a seamless transition from port to tube instead of a step your exhaust gases have to fight through on their way out.

The specs:

• 304 stainless steel, mill-certified
• .750” overall thickness / 7/16” at the flange face
• 1/8” counterbore depth
• 100% CNC-machined and deburred — every flange, every time, no hand-finishing inconsistency

Built in-house on our own equipment. No outsourcing, no compromises on fit.

Need custom flanges? We can make ‘em, and make ‘em nice.
