340-360 vs 408-414
....I would like your ideas....
I'm flattered......but really not qualified. LOL I don't know enough about ports and flow and which heads blah blah blah to really make a good decision.
I can tell you what I would DO were I to build another stroker. I've built four. Two 408s and two 416s, but all were with factory iron heads and mild builds by todays standards.
I know the W2 heads are somewhat obsolete by today's standards, but that's what I'd use. Fully ported with the largest valves they can stand. What can I say? I'm old school and they still flow like a ****.
As for cam, IMO, a large displacement engine with great flow in and out benefits from a single pattern on an LSA of 110 or even 112. Solid roller of course since all this is hypothetical.
I guess ultimately I would have to sit down and talk with my head porter and see what he thought about it. As I said, I am really not versed enough to get real deep into ramp approach and depart angles, port shapes, sizes and placements.
