Putting together a Hemi and need some discussion time. 4.5 stroke 4.31 bore 68 block 66 heads. I've read that the intakes ports will flow enough with the extra cubes, but the exhaust look they might not. Is this right and if so what improvements if any can be done to them? Older super stock cam about .700 lift

Typically they flow 350-370cfm out of the box even with mild porting....They can flow up to or around 420cfm with someone who is really good like Ray Barton, but I have not seen a set flow that much in cast iron in a while. Above that is usually Stage V territory...

My latest aluminum set flowed 457cfm at .700.....

Block will need some work to clear a 4.5 stroke.This is a megablock with 4.5 arm.

I know curiosity killed the cat , but does your 68 block have a partial vin stamp on it? It should be back by the oil pressure switch on the flange where the bellhousing would bolt up.
Thanks Matt

Already checked that, rods on the crank clear, will check again by the oil boss. BBC size
No telling how many times this block has been through the wash. "Rumors" it's an ex Bob Reed engine last.

If I'm not mistaken, my MP aluminum hemi heads are basically just aluminum versions of the factory iron heads.
MCH cnc ported them and they flow 429.5 cfm intake and 283 cfm exhaust w/ a tube.

What size engine, and if you don't mind telling, some particulars. Tying to get some comparisons. Kinda what works and not.
My dad, family, lives in Bishopville, how close are you? Any tracks beside Darlington? They want me to move down with them.

That would be great if you could do that and post it. Might be someone's original engine.

Does it have BULLET stamped in by the distributor? I have a Hemi block that I got from Jim Hale years ago, and I believe he got it when he bought the old Banning & Slaughter Hemi Cuda. My understanding is that Tommy Slaughter traded parts with Bullet Bob. I called Bob on it years ago and he said he thought it sounded like one of his old blocks.

Flow data on MCH regular CNC porting on Hemi heads. Jeff had a SS Hemi port that flowed more than this, but cost a bunch more too. I think Jeff improved on these numbers somewhat a couple of years ago after he did my iron MP heads. FYI.

I have a set of 1968 Iron castings, ported by the late Glenn Knowlton. These heads were done for Chuck Lofgrens entry into the Royal Purple Hemi Challenge, and his engine won. After the contest, the engine was parted out and I bought them and put them on my FAST motor. They flow 420 intake 325 exhaust. They are for sale.
