Yep, the 371 was one nice example.

Don' retire, just turn away most work and keep it as a hobby, like I did.
If only there was a switch that would just freeze time, we all need breaks from the phone ringing...

Don't I remember you saying you are approaching 70? I adore you.
Yes, I'm something like 69.8822 years old.

I know a couple guys, one 76, the other 85...see them at the driving range from time to time....they're always asking me if I have any work I can give them. Flooring guys, probably 40-50 years in it a piece.
I play hockey with a few guys in there 70s and 1 in his 80s... But he played NHL for the Leafs.
I think you should retire right after my short block... Lol. I was looking forward to the drive and picking up my old friend Kevin just north of Stanley on the way. You guys could talk about stuff way over my head... Lol. Kevin was like a Mopar savant...
Had a plane crash a few years back and hasnt been able to do much with Mopars since...

That's how I do it.
The first set of EQs I saw and looked closely at, went on a local short track racers. NASCAR 2bbl, cam size limited. No port work allowed. Made 485hp on a 360 in that form. They flat out work, and work great. I just wish they could use the LA rocker systems...lol.
Spoken like a man accustomed to measuring in tenths.

Anyone doing the chevy rockers thing, I`ve got a half set of "less than a hundred miles", lifetime guaranteed scorpion 7/16, 1/6 roller rockers , I`m not going to use . LOOK brand new !-----I changed cams and didn`t re use them--------bob

Error, error.
The 1399 is a Ford head, they go on the next build. We used the AFR 1034 2.05/1.60 on the 383 Chevy, and on our bench the EQ heads now flow a little better than the 1034 head flows on the same bench.
Cutting the spring pockets to size for the dual springs...........
Relocating the rocker studs. The left one is the original 5/16..............
Roughing in the intake seats for porting. The chamber on the right is the first test port.......
Finished intake ports. Can't go wild here as I don't have a test head to cut up.
Finished intake and exhaust seats. Yes the thin blue line is the 45 degree intake valve seat and the wide blue line is the exhaust's 45 degree seat.

1st test intake manifold flows for the OOTB Holley Strip Dominator and the OOTB Edelbrock 340 Victor.
Strip Dominator port window is .970 X 2.150 = 2.086 sq. in.
340 Victor port window is 1.000 X 2.015 = 2.015 sq. in
Port #.............Strip D............340 V
1)....................257 cfm...........256 cfm
2)....................257..................257
3)....................251..................261
4)....................262..................261
5)....................261..................263
6)....................264..................261
7)....................256..................257
8)....................259..................257......................it all seems pretty equal
Now I've got to put the manifolds on the head and see what flows we get through the two intakes.
Will one of them flow through the head better than the other?
Then I'm going to port the Strip Dominator but I don't know yet about the 340 Victor.
There is a big difference in plenum volume. The 340 Victor is 4" deep.................
...................and the SD is only 2-15/16" deep.............
340 Victor on the left and Strip Dominator on the right. Though both intakes are about the same height, the way the runners approach the head port is a bit different. Notice how tall the Victor runner is and the runner height leaving the plenum and the angle to the port? Much bigger air gap on the Strip Dominator. I really should port them both and run both of them on the 360.

If you extend the runners in the Victor, and size the port entrance accordingly, run a 1" open spacer with the plenum blended up it'll make 20lb.ft. more TQ at least...and about 20-25HP more most times. I cut D shapes, 5/16 thick, weld them in and clean up the welds...works really good!

What they flow on the head, that's the part everyone will love.

Never works for me. The view is definitely not worth the view for me. FWIW the SD is the one I would pick. J.Rob

Vic 340, I picked up flow using a 7/16 spacer blended from throttle bore to the carb flange. I have it all in a journal I gotta dig it up. Think I got 260 something after some port matching and light plenum blending when bolted to the head.

Are you sizing the runners in the plenum? If it doesn't work, either the tuning rpm is off, or the header design is wrong...or both!

Agreed, I can never figure out what is wrong though. After a few times I have written it off on small cube stuff. Maybe larger engines respond to this mod? J.Rob

You first have to get back the volume that you lose by extending the runners...AND size the port entrance in the plenum larger...then work from there. I actually use the SV intake, and extend those + size the runners and add at least 1" of open spacer.
