318 head flow
As a comparison as to how much better the stock 308 head is compared to a 587 head.....
This was a nice low use 587 head, fresh 3 angle valve job, 1.88/1.60 tulip(stock) style SS valves with a back cut(no blending):

An X head that isn’t beat to death, and isn’t plagued with some serious core shift, with a valve job and some 2.02/1.60 nail head valves can flow in the
[email protected] range with no porting on the intake side.
Unfortunately, the ex ports aren’t any better than other lowly 360 heads....... sometimes not even reaching 140cfm in stock form.
