New best flow numbers for Edelbrock heads
At least for me. I’m working on a set of 2.08 valve Edelbrock heads for a friend which I never do. Just to much work making this size valve work. But he’s a good friend. 1/2 way through my porting work I asked my son to ask him what size head gasket was he running. I about croaked when he said 4.060. Well honestly I wouldn’t have gone with this valve size knowing that. Now they found out they have to bore the block so he’s jumping to a 4.080 gasket. Still not enough to do what I want and need to do. I was so pissed off after three flow tests of jumpy azz Airwolf type numbers I turned off the shop lights and took a 2.5 day vacation. Today I dug my set of 2.08 valve Edelbrock heads for my car that I haven’t touched in 8 months and took some measurements. The last flow test maxed out at 228cfm but I thought there was more left. So after I measured them I tried a couple things I’ve been thinking about and threw them on the bench. Pretty dog gone pleased but I may quickly try one more thing before I jump back on Vic’s heads and hopefully get me the 318-322cfm or as close to it as I can get him. Here’s where I’m at on mine. These are stock location pushrods
