Remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice

For this #FoundryFriday we’re taking a look at the foundation of every BRODIX® casting — the aluminum itself. 🔥🏁
At BRODIX, quality starts long before machining begins. Every cylinder head and block we produce starts with proprietary A-356 virgin aluminum alloy poured right here at our in-house foundry in Mena, Arkansas.
Why does that matter?
✅ Virgin aluminum ingots mean no recycled scrap or unknown contaminants
✅ A-356 alloy delivers excellent strength-to-weight characteristics
✅ Our proprietary blend has been refined through decades of racing and performance development
From raw molten aluminum to finished high-performance race parts, keeping the entire casting process in-house allows us to maintain the consistency and quality racers have trusted for generations.
Made in Mena. Made for racers. 🇺🇸

For today’s #WayBackWednesday we’re taking it back to 1973 with J.V. at an early SEMA trade show in LA showing off the legendary Speedmasters Aluminum Small-Block Chevy head.
Marketed by John Doss of Speedmasters Inc. in Barrington, Illinois, these groundbreaking heads were designed and cast by J.V. Brotherton at the our foundry right here in Mena, Arkansas. Sold as bare castings for $650 a pair, these heads helped pave the way for the performance cylinder head industry as we know it today. Dubbed by Hot Rod Magazine as one of the speed parts that changed racing, the Speedmasters head left its mark on performance history.
From our foundry floor to the race track, innovation has always been part of the BRODIX story. 🇺🇸🏁

Today we’re throwing it all the way back to where it started… our very first print ad, featured in Speed Sport News in 1975.

From humble beginnings to horsepower leaders—some things never change. 🔥
Who remembers the first BRODIX ad they saw?

Countless hours. One goal: performance without compromise.
From the moment this BRODIX BR X 18 cylinder head is poured in our very own foundry—just a city block away—to the final precision cuts in our in-house machine shop, every step is handled with purpose.
Old school craftsmanship meets new age technology. That’s not just how we build parts—it’s how we do business.
