Flowing heads question
Yes, most shops are using the SBF BHJ plate to hone cylinders instead of buying the new LS1. The LS1 heads bolt directly on a SBF block and if you turn the intake around it will line up with spacer plates to take up the deck height difference.

And when we mocked up a SBF intake on it, it did not line up at all, no matter which way you turned it. The runners from the SBF to the LS1 run at completely different angles, the LS1 is more "compact" from end to end, the SBF is more "spread out" from end to end. See what I mean??

For example
our Stg 2.5 6.0L/LS6 intake program on a LS6 head with the stock 3.90" bore chamber flows 325 @.600" on a 4.00" bore and 320 on a 3.90" bore- only a loss of 5cfm
The 6.0L head with the same exact everything flows 324 @ .600" on the 4.00" bore but only 309 @ .600" on the 3.90"- a loss of 15 cfm
so you can see if you flow a head with a chamber that is bigger then the bore you flow it on then it is very ditrimental to the flow, so you may not get the full answer if you port and flow LS1 heads on a 4.00" bore fixture. Hope this helps. Brian
