Using old style plugs in the 3V heads?

[ChevyKiller]

Anyone heard/read about a company that modifies the 3V heads to use old style plugs?

I heard there was an article or something about it but can't find any information.

i know fastlane in houston does it, haven't heard anything about it though.

actually they modify the 3 valve head to accept a Suzuki GSXR 1300 Hyabusa plug, I have talked to them about it but don't remember how much

I heard there was an article floating around somewhere about it.

A long time ago when I was running nitrous, I realized the platinum tip was crap and was searching for an iridium alternative.

JMS at one time was selling some kind of conversion to allow the use of a "normal" plug.

Attached is a link to what prompted them to do this, read towards the end.

yes they do but I heard they are crap.

I tired and hated the brisk. I'm looking to be able to use $2.00 plugs...

the ford racing ones are fine. Thats what I have.

No they arent because the ford racing plugs ARE the HTO's and when you use race fuel (leaded) they foul horribly

They are completely fine at lower power levels, with unleaded fuel

 

[ChevyKiller]

But they sure aren't $2.00...

 

[94tbird]

that too lol

I use the Autolite HTO's gapped at .028 with c16 and 14 to 17 psi's , have not had any problems with them yet. Still using the factory cop. Most of the time I run the car at the track at 12 to 14 psi's never had a problem . Although I do change out the plugs every 4 outings to the track.
I guess Ive been lucky. I do hear the Brisk plugs are not so good.
I wish I could use my old set up NGK TR6's . I use to run 20+ psi's never had a problem with them.

I ran one set of HT1s for over a year, and then switched to HT0s. Those only lasted one day. So I went back to the HT1s.
