My bad. I said AFR, but you guys are correct - Trick Flow makes the small bore aluminum head.

Afr i think usedto make a head with smaller valves to fit 305 blocks. You could order the old 190 heads bare and put 1.94 valves in them I think

Those were real good heads....one giant heavy hunk of metal!!


If you get those Flotek pay for a better valve job...wow. They are all import castings regardless of where they are assmbled.

Quote: #s after some hackery
SF 600
4.125 bore 28"
No pipe on exh
Sure a 4" bore/use of pipe would change things some

100 99.4 94.3
.200 164.7 141.4
,300 222.9 173.8
.400 270.8 201
.500 293.1 216.3
.600 296.2 227.3
.700 299,3 234.1
.800 302.8 239.5
.900 306.3 240.7
Most of the head flow numbers I come across are done on a 4.030-4.060" bore. Hard to compare apples to apples with a 4.125" bore

#s vary 3-8 cfm in this case
What Im most interested in is % of gain and where. Was pretty satisfied for a 2.02 valve

Chamber is alot better. Look like baby vortec chambers or 4.3 L99 chambers. I would love to try a pair on a dished piston or even flattop piston 350 to up the compression. Using 5.3 heads worked great on my LQ4 6.0L.
