Let's talk cylinder heads

Blair,
That is awesome! And I would very much like to see ALL the details you would care to share.
I think I have to accept that most people dont really care to openly share knowledge at the level I seek. I have tried to humbly hint I am not uninformed...

Being on the vintage OE block side of this specific discussion, those power levels are a little out of reach.
I reckon I am more of a "kissing the 550-600" range while accepting the reality that beyond that range I am taking risks...

My I interest lays in the details. Combinations. Power under the curve. Broad midrange heavy power curves. Best average torque within a given range.

Peak numbers, bragging rights and egomania bore me to tears.

here's a 352 build with the small intake valve BBM head from Blair on page 2 of the dyno section

Thanks for the link. I had missed that one.
Little of that build matches my intentions, but still... very interesting.
More cubes, more cam, more induction... heads with those flow numbers should be lively!

Here's a 390 .030 over with BBM "A" optioned heads, I just ordered A heads with 70cc chamber about a week or so ago for my 63 416 Fairlane, "A heads" are CNC intake ported with a 2.20 intake valve and are the beginning of his CNC head options

BBM “F” heads 848 HP / 716 TQ today.  Swapped over to some 850 Center Squirters that Drew sent up here.  Still a little left tomorrow.  I think it will make 860 tomorrow.  🙂

Here is Blair's last Dyno run with the 850's.

BTW, my new in the box TFS will be for sale soon.
