Simply amazing how back in the 60s to get that kind of power you would need Dual quads and 12 to 1 105 octane. and hardly ever would you see a factory corvette engine get more HP per square inch with all that. What I would have never thought of is the 2 inch spacer. We all know high rise manifolds ad torque but to think you got more HP....It is all about combination finding the exhaust length and intake length that meets maximum flow to the cam curve is an ART.....you did it.

Glad to see this. I took a similar 350 with flat top pistons and added small chambered Aluminum heads that gave me 10.2 -1 compression, a edelbrock air gap intake, 650 holly double pumper brawler carb and a 498 lift flat tappet cam so It should be making similar HP on 93 octane.

Unless it is a vacuum secondary carburetor, 750cfm is too big. Won't see that fully needed until 8000 rpm. Needed a 650-675cfm carb to start with. That's why the spacer was needed. Too low air velocity because of the carb being too big.

Sadly soon all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime (Bundesabgasbespassungsverbotsverordnung)!!!

The old Edelbrock catalog their crate engines make more power with the 180 heads than it did with 200cc heads. I’m not saying 432 hp is bad but for the money in this engine. I would have guessed it made a lot more. I know short blocks can be plain vanilla and it doesn’t make more power. Just think the 200cc intake ports with that much compression would have made a few more power.
@Myvintageiron75122 жыл бұрын
I agree that has been our conclusion as well the 200 is a bit too large for a 350 the main reason we wanted the 200cc runners is beacuse we intended to spray this with NOS it made North of 600 with a 200 shot there is also more there N/A with tuning we think there is 25 to 30 more

So, I've got a question that maybe you can answer for me. I started buying parts to build a 400 (406) SB Chevy for a very decent street motor. In that parts list included a set of AFR 195 cc Street port heads with the 2.05" intake valve. But, as I've done so many times before, I changed my mind and decided to order a simple ZZ4 350 short block and build it up as I didn't need 500-550 HP for this new particular build up. So my question is this: The ZZ4 engine uses a 4 valve relief hypereutectic piston in the short block. Do you think that My AFR 195 cc heads will work with these pistons? Remember... the AFR 195cc head uses a 2.05" intake valve which I believe is moved .080" away from the exhaust valve for clearance and flow. The ZZ4 has the smaller valve reliefs. I know that a head with a 2.02" intake valve will work, but, I'm concerned that the AFR's might touch the side of the valve reliefs. Thoughts.....
