I have run iron heads that looked nearly stock and flowed more than my current Indy 426-1 heads....It takes a bit to beat those old numbers with factory heads from that era, but now a days, a small block phord head will just about flow what the newer hemi heads will. Just scary.
Currently, mine flow right about 395cfm and it comes on real quick...just not exactly where I wanted to be, a little disapointing, but I am not paying huge $$$ to have someone else work on them for now.

back in the day a simple 5 angle valve job done as per direct connection info would keep you competitve in any class. very little if any other work was allowed in stock or super stock back then.

You would always hear rumors about some guy back in the day that would throw some 4.88s,headers,rat roaster,3/4 race cam and some big slicks and go out and run in the tens with a otherwise stock Hemi. With heads that flow like that I believe it! Some bad ass stuff for 1960s technology.

That was exactly how my 71 Challenger was set up. Stock stroke. 4.88's. Unported heads. Racer Brown cam, Tank heavy slipper skirt pistons. Synchronized tranny with super shifter setup. Mildly modded RR intake and Comp series carbs. Hookers, slicks, etc. Untouched body.
