Let's Build a 416 with Cast Iron Heads and Manifolds

Ran 12.20’s and worked it down to 11.80’s with a 410 using New Zealand EQ heads (w/1.92” intakes, not much for any porting other than guide boss tapering) using an Isky 280 Mega hyd w/1.6 rr, and a set of Dougs headers and 4.10 rear.
Certainly you could get those iron heads to flow as well as those EQ Magnum heads after some handiwork, you’re likely gonna use more cam and even with iron exhaust manifolds (reworked you say?) you should easily hit low low 12’s without breaking a sweat and might (very likely) crack into the 11’s I think.

I know the prevailing consensus when it comes to strokers is more head.....more cam, more header, more torque converter more of everything in general. Sure, but there is more than one way to skin a cat. Pretty rewarding when you can do something with seemingly less:thumbsup:
