Default Are LS7 heads to much for a 408?

Are they to big for the 4.030 bore? I'm building a 408. Thanks

Yes you need a 4.06 bore minimum. Wait for the L92 heads to come out.

Default ls7 small bore

we are also offering a small bore ls7 using a smaller valve and chamber, but still using a stock LS7 manifold, and stock ls7 rockers.

For a 4.100 bore are your 265 41's still going to outflow the LS7 heads?

they are really neck and neck. the ls7 is a little better is some areas and the 265 in others. REmember though, the 265 has a 2.100/2.125 valve and the LS7 has a 2.200 inlet valve. On a larger race engine, they sometimes like the larger valve.

As far as flow and port volume, I should have that answered by next week, Were still programming and machining, and being that it is computer generated, kinda gotta wait til we have a finished part.
