Match Race 1972 ~ 'Road Runner/GTX 440' vs. 'Buick GS 455'
Have you seen any flow numbers for the Stage 1 heads? I know most Buick castings were the same as far as port dimensions, but with the larger valves???
I did find this posted on V8buick.com from 2006, but it was the "148" casting with standard 455 valves...2.00/1.625.
