Slightly strange head flow question.

OK guys, that was a typo, but it was late last night when typing it.

The CID should have been CC's, which corresponds to the total swept volume of all cylinders, and the NOS should have been NOC (number of cylinders including gasket area)... Come on - you guys knew this...

Also, when someone asks for a "formula", or formulas, there are hundreds out there that can be used to get you where you want to be. These are just a few of the more common "formulas".

I do think that many rodders confuse a "recipe" with a formula, as there are many recipes to going fast, each having it's own little nuances that builders bring to the table.

If you're asking for a formula, then that means working from a good calculator but, if you're really after a rodding recipe, then most of the magazines out there do a good job of providing recipes for the rodding crowd. Popular Hotrodding's Engine Build Off is a prime example. Additionally, many of the posters here have excellent recipes that reconcile to most any budget.

However, as noted above, my personal experience with 360 heads on a street/strip 318 are based on "my" history with the application and not everyone here will agree with my assessment. Therefore, I recommend you network with friends that have built their engines, or rely on magazines that do a great job of flushing out performance on their dime, which can save you considerable money when building yours.

One other thing: there is a magazine called Engine Masters, and it's editor is a hard core Mopar guy named Steve Dulcich. Every issue has a Mopar based engine build - with dyno results, and usually a good run down on costs.

If you're a Mopar engine builder, I'd recommend subscribing to Engine Masters or picking it up at your local news stand.

Sorry for the confusion with the formula, but hopefully there were a few that others could use if needed.
