Fish Heads

I took a fish head out to see a movie- didn't have to pay to get it in!

Roly-poly fish heads are never seen drinking cappuccino
In Italian restaurants with Oriental women

What was this thread about?

In my opinion, a small increase in flow is usually more beneficial than a small increase in compression. 

Now, if those old heads truly have a more efficient chamber in addition to providing more compression, then maybe......nah, I'd still go with the flow.

put big valves in the C0E's and be done ... Royce P had some sweet pictures of a COE with 2.15/1.65 that were beautiful

Some years ago I had Jim Dove make up a set of heads for a project I was doing. I had him use his 'F-5' design with the 'ice cream scoop' valve bowls, his Type 3 raised exhaust runners, and the early machined combustion chamber shape. Wayne Kuchtyn massaged the heads including opening the CCs a bit, and we used 2.100-1.65 Ferrea valves. The first full pull on the dyno showed 498 HP at 7500 RPM. The shortblock was a +.030 390. We used a matched Dove 'spider' manifold with an 850 dyno carb.

Have never seen "E" heads. These are C0AE-D's with the purported 60cc heart-shaped chamber, use on 352 hi-po and Police engines. C0AE-C's are the large chamber castings used on standard compression units. Former N54 Hollis Franks (RIP) had a set of D's on his 427, but I cannot recall any info about them, or performance results.

Since the aftermarket will never cough up a good chamber for the 390/352, I'm just trying to figure out a combo, also using steel shim gaskets I have for small bores, still in the Cal Custom blister pack.
