L98 Aluminum Head Characteristics

L98 aluminum heads flow characteristics.

Any bench test results out there?

Flow characteristics compared to some of the aftermarket heads?

Intake runner size?

I know these are a popular choice for a lot of people, but am curious about some of the numbers.

Anybody know?

check out my website. I've got flow tables for stock Aluminum L98 heads and after SDPC puts a pocket port job on 'em.

The L98 heads have a superior exhaust port shape as cast. The real beauti of these heads
only is seen when they are reworked.
Install 2.00"/1.55" LT4 style valves and give them a good porting. Don't be shy here.
Once properly modified they are the basis
of a serious small block build up.
