Patriot Performance Heads

Posting for a friend.

Since Dart quit making solid 360 heads, my friend has been looking for something comparable. Anyone ever run Patriot Performance Heads? He's looking at their 360 heads and was wondering how they would work compaired to the Darts. Blown combination. Their solid part number is 2250S.

Not sure where you heard that Dart is not making the 360 solids anymore. I just talked to them and they said they have never stopped and have just ordered up a new batch of castings.

Maybe give them a call and put an order in.

 

Like I said, posting for a friend. He's been talking to Dart for a couple of months and they said they quit making them. He talked to these guys (Patriot) yesterday and they knew of the issue and said Dart as reconsidering as there was a demand. Sounds like they are going back into production.

 

dart solid heads

I will put a call into dart today and find out what the story is,as of 12/31/11 dart was "NOT" producing 360 solids,perhaps they have reconsidered this decision.at any rate,i still would like to find out about these patriot heads,any info would be greatly appeciated,thanks

 

brodix offers many solid head configurations call dart or brodix

 

I talk to them yesterday and they said the solid head version all they do is take a water head and fill it in and weld it.and charge 500 more then the water versioni personally would stay away from them but it's up to you what you think of that.

 

Really? Thats sounds nasty.

 

yeah thats what i thought. to me that sounds like the nightmare of using the block filler in alum heads. i asked em if they were gonna starting doing a billet set with no water holes at all and he said no cause they get their castings from china and do the finish machining here. I would consider the water heads, but wouldnt touch their solid heads

 

So you are saying that Dart said their solid 360 heads are from China and they are really water heads they fill themselves and sell as solid heads? Who at Dart did you talk to?

 

No not the dart stuff the patriot performance stuff.i haven't called dart about them making solid headsagain.sorry for any confusion

 

Okay, thanks.

 

I actually have a set of the current 360 solids and they are most definitely solid and a very nice looking casting. Even the CNC stuff right from Dart is very respectable for flow numbers if your not looking to set the world on fire.

 

Patriot head are grout filled not solid.
Ask me how I know.
We were told that Dart didn't do solids any more.

Not happy with the patriots but they only just arrived so we will see what happens.

 

Patriot want their heads back to resolve issues.

So keep you all posted

 

any more info on the patriot heads?

 

Due to the $1000 dollar return postage they have asked for us to get a quote to fix here. Still waiting for quote from head man.

 

heads are going back to USA.
refund cost.

 

Patriot heads

Save yourself the hazzle of trying to go racing with CHINEESE JUNK. (It may sound tempting pricewise, but the real answer is BUY AMERICAN from well reputated manufacturers). This may not be what you want to hear, but it is damn close to the truth. Just my 2 cents

 

Brodix Solid Heads

The guys at Brodix tell me that they can do most any of their heads without water jackets as they do their own castings. About $250 per head option, need a little extra time when you order them. Good ole' Arkansas American Aluminum!!!!

 

we orderd dart 360 solids but these turned up!!!
