292 Turbo heads...

Anyone ever seen any flow #'s from these? I just got a set from a friend, that have been ported pretty nicely.

Just wondering what the baseline flow #'s on these looked like.

Thanks

It's kind of irrelevent to you,, yours have been ported.

Why not get yours flow tested so you have an idea of what you've got.

These heads were the forrunners to the "bowtie" series of heads. they were intended to be ported and prepared for racing. Like the bowtie's the out of the box flow isn't that great. But not the point. It's what you can create with proper porting that counts.

I understand that, and will have them flowed if I decide to do something with them at some time in the future. I have a nice set of Dart 2's going on my motor now so I wont be worrying too much about them for a while.


So... if anyone has any stock #'s or even #'s from a ported set to give me some sort of idea....
