Sorry but those heads will NEVER flow close to 340cfm.... I know of only one cathedral port head that will and it is for a 4.00 bore and not a factory casting....... Never happen....

Not trying to be an *** but EVERYBODY but you on here knows those heads or no LS1/6 casting will flow close to those #'ers

EVERYBODY on here also knows those lobes will not work with 1.85 rockers without beating the $h!t out of your valvetrain.

LOL

Ive got -6cc pistons going with this combo that should have PLENTY of room for PTV. If anything we will flycut them with more valve relief. Im also upgrading to 3/8" pushrods and am running Morel lifters,,im hoping it shouldnt be a problem.

You will clear fine....that is not the issue.....Just letting you know on a 3.898 bore NO OEM castings will flow 340cfm and yes Morels are top shelf but your valvetrain will still beat itself to death with those rockers. You will beat the **** out of the seats and have valve control issues. You sound set on running it though so GOOD LUCK I think you are gonna need it.......
