Sorry I'm an old newbie. 191 SBC head discussion. Sorry if I'm in the wrong place but i saw a discussion on piston heads and i was wondering....
The 191 Swirl Port heads. They had a piston design to go along with them. a special swirl quench type piston can anyone make or do they sell these pistons any more? Please don't just bash the 191 heads. They had a great idea engineering design which carried over into the vortec heads. Many people bash them, but did they ever do a build with those heads and even attempt to recreate the rest of the combustion design, or did they just throw in flat tops and wreck the compression?

I used Stock 69? Camaro 350 flat tops with 191’s before and it was a really torquey engine but those heads run out of breath BAD after 4500 rpm. They’re nice for a truck but for a car I’d throw them on the ground
