Close!




I've often wondered, the indy heads don't clear pushrods on a 59 degree solid roller or a 59 degree hydraulic roller and apparently they are really tight on a 48 degree flat tappet too?? What exactly do they have those pushrod areas clearanced for???




I just finished assembling my brothers 59 Degree R3 engine using 360-1 Indy heads that IMM ported along with IMMs new style solid roller lifters and I had to do some minor clearancing for the pushrods. My friend Rons is having a 48 Degree R3 engine built using CNC 360-1 heads and a hydraulic roller cam and INDY had to do alot of clearancing for the pushrods in that combo. Evidently if you want to use the 48 Degree block with the 360-1 or -2 heads you need to notify INDY up front of what your doing because they will clearance it for you in there machining process if your not comfortable grinding yourself. The heads are initially setup for 59 Degree. I dont know how much better or worse a flat tappet cam will make the pushrod clearancing however. Brian @ IMM engines could answer your questions and set you up with a nice pair of heads or a complete engine.

Congrads That thing is going to be a handful on the street Ahhh yes, decent power small blocks really do exist.... Our 422" made about the same torque as your motor, but down 40 hp I hope it's going behind a 4-speed

Done right the first time probably 13K including carb, headers, dist, etc....
Alot more than an equally prepared BB if you minus the block in the equation.
It's 6 in one hand and half a dozen in another...BB is cheaper, but heavier plus trans is heavier (if you go 904 with the sb)and doesn't fit nearly as nice as a SB in an A body...

Seems like it would be more. The unported 360-2 head assemlies with intake & rockers are around $3500 depending. I would think between the after market $2500 block and heads, your up to $6k and you would still have to purchase a rotating assembly, cam, carb, oil pan, and there's no machine work or assembly work paid for yet. Don't take this the wrong way, I love the engine, I just think it takes a few more $$ to get one as good as that one.

Yes, doing a new R3 & all new parts it certainly will be more than $13K carb to pan. Usually closer to $18-$19K depending on level of parts used. INDY sells their 440" 700 HP Bracket motors for around 18,500 Racer cost

The one's I've built have all been in the $16-$18K range without carbs, that's me supplying every part in motor new, using CNC ICH heads, Custom pistons, T&D's, roller cam setup & new race blocks.

Set of Roller spring CNC ICH heads with T&D's is almost $6K with head studs & intake....

New R3 is Almost $3K, & then $1K in machining to block..... so you got $10K in top end & a block alone. They get pricey in a hurry.... without a doubt a Big Block is way cheaper to build for same power. I think I only have like $6800 in the 448 INDY motor I have in my RR, & it makes around 580 HP.... could make easy high 600's with more compression & big solid roller. Prospective customer wanted me to get cost on duplicating it for him & it was only going to be in the $10K range his cost. The ability to use a $150 stock 440 block really helps VS the SB going with $3K race block all the time.

Yep, your right! I meant to type 16K...I'm soooooooo tired...LOL! I am very busy with my newborn baby and I can't tell you how badly I crave sleep...and peeeaaaacceee!! LOL!!

It all depends on how much extra work you do and what kind of parts you use.
The FT cam deal shaves costs, as does using the heads OOTB vs. extra work to make them better.
Yes the block is the big deal!! Adds so much right off the top.
I do believe had he come to me first I could have gotten him to the 650HP level without too much trouble. And yes a BB is still cheaper at that level.
Like I said, to each their own...I see lots of guys build Hemi's because they're cool, not because they're the best bang for the buck or cheap

So can anybody tell me if the Indy CNC ports flow as advertised? I realize that flow benches are different but I get tired of a company advertising a particular airflow on their CNC stuff and when I throw it on the flowbench they go turbulent and refuse to get close to the numbers they're supposed to flow without some additional help. Example was some Dart 225's or 7's, (can't remember the specifics) that we bought because we wanted to quickly build a 434 inch small chevy. Heads were cnc'd and wouldn't break 300 cfm! Did a little work to the short turn and it at least broke the 300 threshold but to say I was disappointed was an understatement. I'm getting to the point where I look at the cnc work as just a good starting point so I don't have to remove as much material lol...

Indy heads don't flow what they advertise on my bench...but neither does anything else "advertised".
Only head I've seen come very close, is a TEA cnc ported trick flow 230cc head. It went a true 300cfm at .500 lift on my bench!
Alot has to do with bore size that you flow with, and the flow radius and clay work and how it sets up the airflow into the port.
This is why I like to flow heads with intakes on them.

After a different valve job and some cleanup in the bowl/chamber transition, they flow very well!
I still prefer the -1 heads hand ported. I think they work better.

Thanks Brian. Makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one that had those results. Must be why most head suppliers have quit advertising flow numbers. I think Edelbrock's the only one that still does..
