It would be interesting to see what some of the better modeling software would spit out for Gregs build with the two different flow curves plugged in.

It would be interesting to see what some of the better modeling software would spit out for Gregs build with the two different flow curves plugged in. If Greg had the data to plug into EngMod4T I would run a few scenarios, but in order to to do so - and get something of value for outputs - requires hundreds of measurements; some of which aren't simple to obtain. For a quick and dirty analysis of the two flow curves, Engine Analyzer Pro(free trial period) might price interesting. I'd do it, but I have wasted the trials on all my PCs and cannot locate the pertinent files and delete, restoring my boxes to the pre-trial state.

Get that thing screwed together and in the car already YaaaaaA. Winters coming. Lol 😂 So true. Well, the crank came back, offset ground to 4.560 (yes, 4.560!)which fits the expensive pistons i bought for the -13 heads and a set of poweradder + Molnar rods that are 7.0 long. Makes 580 cubes at 4.50 bore. So i wait for the crank to get balanced and pistons and rods to get pin fitted. Then i can put it all together and hopefully dyno it to dial in the fuel curve. Maybe race at BIR mid september!

It will be interesting to see how they stack up on the other flowbench. it will for sure. Since you port heads, a little info on valve angles. No back cut on either intake or exhaust. I was told a back cut brought up the flow up to . 100, but a net loss occurred in the midrange. So i was told don't let anyone change that. I went to a two day theory only class on head porting years ago and Darren Morgan recommended putting a 30 degree back cut on everything and his reasoning was it will never hurt and usually help. Like I said that was years ago so that thinking may have changed. He has some really good videos on YouTube that I have shared and guys really enjoy them. I have never watched them because by now I know how I want to go about it and after 100’s of flow tests Im kinda set in my ways. I prefer to do it at least on the intake valves. The 30-45 minutes that he spent on the exhaust side was worth the 600.00 plus the 300.00 I spent to take my son. I also sat in a seminar by Morgan and I usually back cut all the intake valves. The way i have found that gives the best results is to grind the seats and then slap the valve in the head to get a mark where the valve will seat, then grind the back cut angle so you come close to the seat mark. I want the face of the valve to be at least .060 wide, so if perfect .030 on each side of the seat mark you got slapping the valve. If you just grind a 30 degree back cut on the valve and it is too far away from the seat area it does not give good results. I think you posted on speed talk as well. But you need to check the short side air velocity, if you increased the flow with a back cut you may increased the velocity to make the short side unstable at high lifts, I think Morgan talks a lot about velocity in the ports as well. I have found just a little work with a sanding burr will fix most issues like you describe.

When working on motors and using "theory" please remember the valves open and close interrupting the air flow on both intake and exhaust sides. My message is a flow bench doesn't do that so make sure you have before and after data from either an engine or chassis dyno or from the track with very similar weather conditions when testing before and after ALL changes I remember meeting Jacko, an early SO CA very good head porter, in 1969. He had some aluminum 426 hemi heads he was working on for Mopars Direct Connection parts R&D department, he didn't have a flow bench and said he could see what the air would do under vacuum or pressure on the exhaust side. I'm sure he used a big commercial vacuum cleaner with a smoke tipped sparkler on the intake side and would reverse the hose on the vacuum hose to make pressure on the exhaust side. i heard later that he would drag out one of the blocks he had to mount the heads on to do his testing from inside the cylinders with an adapter to seal against the cylinder walls I was really lucky to be able to meet and get to talk to him for a short while, I was installing his phone service after he moved from the coast out to the desert
Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
