Quote: I see alot of complaining about 59* blocks and how the Victor head could be better utilized on a different block How many guys need more then 8000rpm w a 420+ ci motor ? The 59* stuff works fine for 98.9 % of what guys wanna do out there. This is what went in nascar and went 500laps in heat and at high rpm.. Just sayin
A pliers will loosen a nut too. Is it the best tool for the job ? No doubt , you can make a stout 59 degree small block. But at the point where these heads ( if the flow numbers bear out ) go to work is the point where the stock block becomes marginal. Will it work ? Probably. But rounding off the corners at that point gets pretty pricey.
