Are you talking about ported 516's? Quote:
Are You CERTAIN these are 2.14 1.88?Those combos CANT work in stock location.Max Wedge were 2.08 1.88....The 1.74 WILL work good for increasing torque on heavy vehicles.I have a set of 516's that out flow the 915s I ever had.Or Any Other STOCK Chrysler head(On a Vehicle including MW...).

I need to correct what i said about big valves killing flow. What I meant was that the 2.14 valve in the early port flow less than the 2.08. Unless the port work is done to make it work. On the exhaust side the larger valves flow more. This is also true on many other heads. Ford GM ect.. I believe this is what causes the rumor that big valves kill low end torque.

Cool. I've heard/read things about 516's that don't make sense to me.
IMO, 516s=waste of time.
Yeah, Im sure lots of people have gone fast with them, but they just dont flow like other BB castings.
72 RR, Pump gas 440, 452s, 3800 lbs, Corked, ET Radials,. 11.33@117.72.
Same car, bone stock 346s, 9.5 comp, baby solid. 12.24@110.

They serve a purpose. You just have to know their limitations. They will flow around 235 with a little work. Thats about as much as most duel plane intake. So its a cheap easy to find closed chamber head. If you have better heads than for sure use them. But if not
