The guy has a Hogan intake that he wants to try. Evidently Hogan is already making parts for this engine. The intake looks conventional but it really isn't since the heads are unique and the coils are mounted under the runners. We haven't taken a close look at the engine yet but the heads are obviously a different design than regular big blocks. First glance is that they are similar to a Ford 429/460 but I'm sure the GM engineers would disagree. They would probably say it is a GM Pro Stock design. I'll post pictures when I get them. I haven't' seen under the valve covers yet.

What is the bore and stroke on that thing?

Intake flow: 481 cfm @ 0.787"
Exhaust flow: 347 cfm @ 0.787"
A good set of Hemi heads would have no problem trumping those numbers. What advantage this Chevy has is the big bore.

Those are some really nice looking heads. The exhaust and intake ports are raised up a bunch and a nice small chamber. I bet the valves are rotated a bunch from factory. .

Head CFM is nice, but the head does many other things.
Some smart person said (paraphrased) the absolute limit to intake port efficiency is "how tall is the head casting?"
The hemi chamber was a production item as far back as the 1920s (and racing before that), when the belief was that (nearly) pure geometric shapes were inherently efficient: 50% hemisphere with diameter equal to bore diameter, identical intake and exhaust cams, and symmetrically opposed intake and exhaust valves @ 45° angles. Obviously the 392 is closer to this than the 426, despite being only 13 (?) years older.
The hemi chamber shape has limited toroidal swirl*, minimal quench*, the charge isn't directed to a useful target (spark plug and/or exhaust valve), and no influence on cross-flow during overlap.
* As the bore increases beyond chamber diameter some of these factors decay - but the surface-to-volume ratio (the original concept for the hemi: WW1) slowly disappears.
We now know that much shallower valve angles work very well (as long as the port is tall), a much smaller chamber (= smaller dome) can greatly improve overlap flow (without increasing the OL duration in degrees), and that assignment to value must prioritize the intake valve (and limit the exhaust valve as necessary: HT Jon Kaase).

Kaase knows his stuff. I got a set of his SR-71 460 heads for my boat motor and they have very shallow valve angle, very small combustion chamber, raised intake port, raised roof on the intake and exhaust. Intake flow unported exceeds 400 CFM @ .600 lift and beyond. Price on those is super affordable... AG

The 385 platform is hard to beat with it's inherent design benefits and relatively compact design. Add shaft rockers and you are good to go (I hate dealing with stud girdles etc).

OK, I got curious and looked up the Stave V replacement heads that FHO did for me, just to compare with the chevy. Intakes were about the same, the chevy did more on the intake,
Exhaust Port with 1.90" Valve Intake Port with 2.30" Valve
Flowed at 28" without tube. Flowed at 28"
.100" 59 .100" 76
.200" 130 .200" 164
.300" 184 .300" 245
.400" 232 .400" 320
.500" 265 .500" 396
.550" .550"
.600" 285 .600" 451
.650" .650"
.700" 297 .700" 479
.750" .750"
.800" 308 .800" 488
.900" 314 .900" 488

I'm thinking that a good set of Predator heads will match or, hopefully, exceed those numbers They do but making power is not just about cylinder head CFM. And there are BBC heads(heads that bolt to stock architecture) that flat out make a Predators head flow seem paltry. While a Predator can move some air it has its issues as well and not having a larger bore size is just one of those. It will be interesting when we dyno my Predator and 600-13 engines on the same day here hopefully next month. Certainly wildly different style heads for certain. I am willing to bet power will be similar between the two. The -13 engine is a much larger, but it is essentially and overgrown -1 head or as I like to say SBC on steroids  But still will be interesting.
