Quote: When somebody asks about port size, it is simply easier to say standard 440 port size, or Max wedge port size than it is to list every engine that came with a non Max Wedge port. Keith That is what I think when someone asks about port size too. Thanks for sharing the info.

Next time one of you guys who are in contact w/ the Proheaders folks get to bring it up, how about they "find" a modern chamber design for this head. I don't get it why they go to the trouble to "fine tune" something and ignore the obvious technical throwback. Or maybe come up with an "improved" Indy EZ-type head where the stupid lip in the intake runner is filled in so it can actually be used as a standard-port head.

I personally wouldn't worry about it if I was going to spec a cam for the combination. The low lift exhaust flow would make scavenging a little easier but could easily be made up for. It wouldn't take much to make it match the RPM head there. The Sidewinder could easily go bigger than I have done here but these are at a level I want for the street engine they go with.

While we have several running at the moment we have not dynoed one yet but I should have that chance within the next two weeks. Nothing crazy but should be pretty sporty. Todd www.mopartsracing.com

Installed them on mild 383/ 9.5 comp,headers,750 holley, 478/494 lift cam(mild).WOW!!! Couldn't be be happier with my setup. 65 b-body/373 gears. This thing is now the beast I wanted it to be. [

That is a load on ANY aftermarket heads stands. You can look at the structure under them but that is a lot. You could helicoil them ( no big deal) and help a little. Heck even the VIctors had trouble with that with that kind of spring pressure. Todd www.mopartsracing.com

First up was a back to back with a mild hydraulic cam versus 915 heads. I'm testing them in ported form right now, with a couple different solid camshaft. I'll be posting results in the next day or so. But I can say, so far so good! They are looking like a great option. Keith 8300627-NCM_0554.JPG (527 downloads) www.dunnuckracing.com
