BBC Iron heads
I know this is not a stocker project but the question is for the BBC stock guys(or anybody who might know). I'm trying to find out the best (IYO)flowing factory iron oval port head with a gasket match-clean up the pockets and 2.19&1.88 valves, cam lift in the ..500 to .600 range,nothing special (open or closed chamber). It's for a 6000 rpm 454 street engine in a 3500lb car. Thanks Mario.

Re: BBC Iron heads
215 semi closed chamber.
I ran these heads on a pump gas 468 from '95 to 2007 and each time the engine was freshened, the heads were massaged a little more. Ultimately going from a 2.19/1.88 valves to a 2.25 intake valve. Best numbers in my 3880 lb. footbrake launched Chevelle were 1.28 60 foot and 10.07 @ 131. Last edited by 1320racer; 04-04-2012 at 09:05 PM. |

Re: BBC Iron heads
I'll take a small chamber requiring little to no dome to achieve a specific compression ratio over a large chamber requiring a big dome to achieve the same compression every time.
FYI, through the end of the 2007 season when I retired my 468, there wasn't one 468 with 049/781 heads installed in a similar weight Chevelle, competing in Division 1 brackets that could run on par with my ride no mind quicker. Matter of fact, my Chevelle ran quicker than EVERY n/a 454, 496, 502, GM's 720HP 572 and most 540's regardless of which head they ran, in a similar Chevelle here in Division 1 brackets, just saying. BTW, the devil is in the details and the performance that HP Hunter speaks of also comes by way of a $6,000 Coan XLT 350 trans backing up that 496. Just saying.
