The heads were originally for a different setup
Rather then sell I reworked them
But have been massively worked and flow big numbers
370cfm with a 2.100 intake valve
A lot of people under estimate cathedrals
The rectangle heads are good but I want to do something different

I dunno where the heads stall at for lift, but I'd be thinking more like a 288/300 with lift a touch past max flow, whatever that is, and hold that valve there for as long as possible. You have a short enough stroke so a 60mm cam core will fit I would put one in it and a bushed lifter as well, 903 min 937 would be better. May want to think about a center counterweight crank rather than a stock piece just because if you spin this where it will likely want to be its gonna benefit from that, with a lot less deflection.

And compression, if you could manage any more than 14.5 I would.



True n/a motor is gonna want to spin rom, have a huge fan that's not valvetrain friendly (a lot of maintenance). But the guys that like n/a racing love that stuff

Cam... As big as you can go, no other option ;-)

60mm core a really good idea

Going to a 60mm core and bronze lifter bushes
Staying wet sump at this point
Only need 700-750 at the flywheel for the car it's going in

Wet sump will be fine if you're keeping it under 8000.

Put an msd crank trigger on the balancer, the factory stuff over 7200 seems problematic

No idea I just know everyone I know running a fast, bs3, grid, etc have had to go this route because the factory reluctor wheels are problematic with rpm over 7200... Soon as you get to that point you have to do something, or have a lot of headaches.

I know people who have gone to 8000+ with no problems with the reluctor and MSD and several who routinely go 7500. So, I would not say that is a rule.

Stock reluctor seems to be problematic in these applications from my experience.

Stock computer as well, MSD probably helps with that a lot but I still, on a build I was planning on twisting to 8000, would just put an MSD crank trigger on the front of it. Save the possible issue, the cost isn't that high. Damage from the issue, could be.

A good set of Cathedral ports with some area at the pushrod ,and a big enough bowl,with a 2.100 valve in conjunction with a 270-ish intake lobe can make 800 hp if everything else is spot on
Some more stroke would have been nice,but overall sounds like a good build up
Good luck

As for a Msd not wanting to work over 8000rpm,some folks need to get out more
