I like my Indy on my 440-1 heads...made 60hp more than the Indy x-ram. About 1 1/2in of clearance to the scoop. 337 is a good piece also. Have Radar clean either up and port match 'em! Happy Holidays Ted.

I have only used the Indy valley covers. Dwayne used the right stuff to seal them up and never had an issue with leaks. What do you have left to do?

My low deck has Indy heads and their valley plate. The gap to the heads is pretty small, maybe 0.030", and with gray silicone it never leaked or even hinted at leaking. To get it off for this winter's freshen up, I ran an Exacto knife blade down it to cut the seal.

...Radar will get the work...It will be interesting to see what the heads do after he starts grinding on them...
I wouldn't expect they're going to pick up that much going to a MW entry, just because the rest of the runner in that particular head is fairly limited. IMO, the gain will come from being able to use a less restrictive intake to support the large(r) engine, not from major gains in head flow.
