Flow Testing Hammerhead Performance Engines cylinder heads for Project MIXED UP BOSS!!

Today on Unity Motorsports Garage. David Vizard and myself Flow Test Hammerhead Performance Engines BOSS 429 "Style" heads for an SBF. Is this cylinder head the best AS-CAST Small block FORD head ever made???? The results speak for themselves....

[@jaisonbairstow3753]

Personally I'd like to see both. Everything bolted on, dyno run as a baseline. Then do the heads right up and dyno it again

[@jaisonbairstow3753]

Yeah, the extra work for what seems like more of a hobby channel than an income stream would be hard to justify haha. I wouldn't blame them one bit for just going "noooooope"

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

@@jaisonbairstow3753 I would love to do both, it becomes a matter of using the available airflow.. We already know that when ported these heads can go to 500cfm! This engine Is going into my truck CASPER. David and I will figure out the best plan of attack and make it happen.. The ideal setup would be to build two separate Engines one mild... And the other Wild! Andy

[@jaisonbairstow3753]

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage always lots of things we'd love to be able to do! I guess I should've said that what I'd like to see is a baseline, then to see the thought process on why you decide to do whichever changes - ie you want to change the shape of your power curve or you can see that port matching would improve something

@@xmo552 We are in the process of getting it together now! I've been tied up with work and haven't had much time to mess with it... But now it's game on...

Tons of good information ! I would like to see you and David work those heads to their full potential. Great video, appreciate all your work !

Good for 10,000 rpm

[@davidandrew2610]

Hi Andy , another great vid , I really like your heads mate . My 5 cents build your engine wth the as cast heads , dyno and race to validate the heads and combo , build a base line and in the future you and DV could take us through your porting and race prepping and flow bench testing then into casper for some real world drag race validation . Keep up the good work buddy 👍👍

Great Video Andy. Very cool info. My A3s ported by Morgan are close to these, but have a ton of work to them. Can't wait to see how they work out.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Tim, thanks brother for the kind words.. Greg told me that the CNC ported version he offers flows 477 CFM.. EFI University has pushed a set to 500cfm.. to me that is just crazy... Andy

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage Very Bad to the bone. I think you should test the head out of the box, and ported...

[@79beans347]

Yeah let's see them maxed out then reflow test them

[@177SCmaro]

For a 2 valve head these things flow really well. To put it into perspective they appear to flow similar to the stock Voodoo 4 valve heads off GT350.

[@Jvcomet]

Amazing. Like to see both.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

We have talked about it and you might just get to see that... the thing is as of now the goal for MIXED UP BOSS is to make 750hp.. which shouldn't be an issue at all with the current flow of the heads... Once we port them it will need to make mega power to use the additional airflow.... SO I have an Idea that involves a Front engine Dragster as the new home, but that is down the road a bit... Please Subscribe so you can follow the progress as it happens! Andy

[@MsKatjie]

I am glad my search engine got me to your channel, Andy. A lot of people people would like to see the heads modified but as you hinted at, the increased flow would have to be used up. Time and money are generally major factors. Stating the obvious. I my self would like to see what the blue bottle would do! Regards to all.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Thanks for coming over and checking us out! We are going to run it NA on the dyno.. but when it goes in CASPER all bets are off concerning that blue bottle! Lol.. my goal is to get CASPER in the 5's in the 1/8th mile which would be a real low 9 or high 8 in the 1/4... It's going to be hard getting 4000lbs up and moving that fast! Andy

[@PatriotPlus179]

Holy CFM Batman! Those numbers put AFR and Trickflow to shame. We won't even mention Edelbrock anymore 8(.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Wade, you are right... To be an as cast port it really can't be beat... There are some serious heads out there that can compete with it on a MAX Effort deal but I believe this design is a game changer! Thanks for Watching! Andy

As impressive as they are, I would like to see what they are capable of with some porting.

[@tracywraley6892]

I would like to see the heads ported I think if you port them you will be able to push 1000 hp or more depending how you do the porting

[@oldmanintheshopbuiltnotbou8726]

pretty good numbers

No thank you for watching, Im making some good progress on MIXED UP BOSS now so you should be seeing more of it here in the near future. Andy

[@johnwilburn]

Wow. Just looking at those ports, I was guessing 400cfm and yet, there's more to be had. Very impressive. How far we've come in 20 years.. That head doesn't seem like a bolt-on deal anyway. No reason not to finish them your way.... like the truck itself. You know you'll port them if for no other reason than never wanting to wonder "what if."

[@jamest.5001]

Port them! Hot rod rule #1 ya can't leave well enough alone! If the heads are in the bench, you got the tool in hand, you mays well port them!! I wouldn't get too crazy, maybe attempt low lift flow and velocity, and maybe seat and chamber work, heck do it to it! Squeeze all the power out them heads!!

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

The first build of MIXED UP BOSS is seeing what we can get with out of the box parts... The plan is once I get it running and the new has worn off a bit we plan on doing a Max effort type build and expecting four digit power levels! Andy

[@CRUSHFACTORPC]

The BIgger question with this great engineering prowess that is taking place make Direct injection possible with these heads

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

While I'm sure it could be done... Greg Brown of Hammerhead Performance Engines would know more about this as he offers both Solid castings and heads with coolant passages... For this build I'm doing a Nostalgic looking build.. thanks for Watching! Andy

[@paintnamer6403]

It may have been 70 years ago when Ardun made OHV hemi heads for the flat head fords that could make good power. Now let's see how Hammerheads make history, I think the right guy is using them.

[@bluecollarcook]

I tend to agree.

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

Hi Andy! So do LT intake manifolds fit too?

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Now that is a good question... I know that on the Engine that was featured in Hot Rod Magazine they cut up a manifold and made a custom deal.. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing, but I believe it will require a custom manifold but by now he may have it worked out so a factory type deal would work... Andy

[@alanmyers5081]

Off topic sorta, I’ve got a set of fully assembled, as cast C302B heads. Are they worth anything these days? Titanium valves, etc.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Yes the are... Look up Tim Halstead aka Dragboss and he can help you!! Big time Cleveland guy.... I trust his opinion

[@jamest.5001]

Imagine how they would look on an LS engine, instead of the tiny valve covers, those huge heads and rocker covers!

[@bobwhite5440]

cnc hammerhead shark looks cool on the end of the head, what a logo. if possible, it would be great if you could put the heads on stock, use them that way for awhile, see what they can do and then modify them at a later date so you can compare the two performance levels. budget permitting of course.

Andy, I'd love to see mixed up boss run the Hammerheads stock at I'm guessing around 870-9 hun-ned hp. Then ported pushing well into 4 digit NA for NASTY with those numbers. I was searching around for heads, eyeing the Trick Flow Cleveland heads and giving them the business. But now I'm changing gears. I'll grab me a nice 351 production block and massage it a little. Put mo money in the heads.

[@duradim1]

So what does one head dressed up with good hardware costs?

[@19jody72]

So my heads for my 302 flowed 283/208 after porting @500 lift.. youu think thats good? Trick flow 170's

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Ummm yeah! I have always liked the TFS head.. everytime I've bolted a set on I've gotten good results!

[@ScottKenny1978]

So, are you going to do some forced induction on the Mixed Up BOSS? Or still naturally aspirated like Casper is now? I think I would go nuts on the porting if you're going to stay naturally aspirated, and only do a little cleanup if blown. If you don't mind doing (or can afford doing) two Dyno tests, I would love to see one as-cast or maybe what a home grinder can do for one test and a second test with major port work done on it. If you can only afford one Dyno test, whatever you *really* plan on putting in Casper (I'm assuming pretty heavily worked over).

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

The plan is for this Engine is to stay NA.... NOW.. I have Always wanted to build a Front Engine Dragster..and do a Nostalgia type build... I would love to build one of these engines with a period correct 6-71 supercharger with some Nitro... Now that to me would be fun! Andy

[@robertphillips3078]

These r performance heads. Not 4 ur bolt up 2 c how they go on an average 351w or 351c. These heads require the best bottom end available. Minimum of a Forged Nitrided Steel Crank & decent Rods & Pistons. No one in there right mind is going 2 Build a base line engine. These heads complete with valves, retainers, rockers & valve covers r not cheap.... $$$. Edelbrock make some lovely heads for 350-600 hp 4 Windsors. These Hemi Heads r from a different planet & require a Decent Budget Engine Build. Quite frankly l cant stop going on Google 2 take a Peep at them a few ⏱ a day. Gr8 look'in heads & engine packages. Well done Hammerhead Performance Engines

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Greg Brown of Hammerhead Performance Engines has built mild engines using these heads.. with 10 to 1 compression and a SMALL Hyd Roller cam with a Vic jr intake and 750cfm carb they make around 640hp without breaking a sweat... But you are right they aren't for everyone.. but to have the look of a BOSS 429 in a Small Block package is pretty cool! Thanks for watching and Subscribe so you can follow along on the build.. Andy

[@jimkillen1065]

I not a expert , I only know what I been told . After hearing the cfm I thought they can support around 800 hp .Very interesting watch . Seems like I read of some Hemi heads for a LS motor but never saw them . HP cost money and how fast do you want to go is what I been told but experience has show that cylinder heads is a place to spend money .

Greg Brown of Hammerhead Performance Engines is the mastermind behind these.. with the cam I'm running 259/263 @ .050 .675"/.705" solid roller we are shooting for 750hp on pump gas.. something I can still drive to work and on the weekends!

[@bigbear5510]

Great video!👍👍 Those are some amazing out of the box numbers. I see where you are wanting to go with these heads and I would think that you're going to be better off with doing some massage work to them. How much? That's hard for me or anyone else to tell you but I believe that you will know what you to do for your application. I've read some of the comments below and I would have to disagree with some of them because they do not know what they are talking about. I don't know as much as others when it come to doing the work but I have learned a lot by keeping my mouth shut and listening to the that do know and have many years of experience. I'm looking forward to the rest of this build. I'm interested in what, if any modifications (porting) you do to the heads. I think that HP number you're shooting for is a little on the conservative side, I think that it make over 800 HP, especially with a well tuned dual quad set up like you're currently running. I hope that you get to dyno it at Charlie's shop!

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

The thing is I'm trying to sort every nook and cranny out on this thing using off the shelf parts... I know the heads are exotic to most... But I'm hoping to surpass David Vizard's golden rule of pump gas engines.. (making 1.4 lbft of torque per Ci..) If I can pull that off and push the power a bit higher in the rpm range I feel good about the 750 mark... But that is why we test! Thanks again for watching and coming on board Andy

[@allmopar1771]

Are those heads from Troy of Pacific Performance Products , Anaheim, Ca. ?

You can contact him on DavidVizard Performanceseminars.com

[@johnparrish9215]

Sir, how was your port velocity on the flow bench, was it fast or a little lazy?? Also, use them as is and then modify them later on for more data and content. Tell DV we said hello.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

The port velocity was down just slightly from where we would like to see it... It was in the mid 290's ft per sec.. but like David and I were talking it may be a bit misleading due to the fact of the added material on the intake face... Andy

Just clean up the bowls and clean them up like the average guy can do in the garage. As far as the LS heads go, is there really much of a benefit to adding these heads considering how well as some of the cheaper aftermarket heads flow with the stock valve arrangement? Richard Holdener shows some serious flow numbers and horsepower with stock stuff if you haven't seen. ALso, I am from Concord and am currently doing a complete rebuild on a 6.0 Powerstroke. Maybe we can grab lunch one day?

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Curtis thanks for the kind words.. I understand your line of thinking with the LS engine thing.... Given the options of heads available to the LS crowd, I doubt many would want a "FORD" style head setup... None the less Greg has sold quite a few sets to LS guys who want to march to the beat of a different drum... I can fully respect that because in a sense...that is why I went this route... In the worlds of SBF's you are either a Windsor Lover or a Cleveland Lover... Well I want the best of all worlds.... because this head has roots to both and its big Brother the BOSS 429.. Hence the name MIXED UP BOSS Andy

[@curvs4me]

I'll tell you what Andy, go all out pump gas. With the right 4 link set up or even leaf spring you can dead hook on the street. People are pulling the front end and rolling out on regular pavement with 1500-1700 hp on small tires. So even if you hit 4 digits, it will be just fine 😁

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

We are shooting for around 750na the first go around.. with Nitrous down the road... Once I get the truck sorted out with that combo... It will be time for stg2 porting the heads, add compression with a Nasty solid roller so we can shoot for that 4 digit mark... Andy

[@curvs4me]

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage What a set of heads! How lucky am I to be considering my first Ford. In retrospect I don't understand how GM got all the popularity. If I knew what I know now back then, I would be killing it with Fords especially the 429/460. Only Kaase knew lol

[@josephnubile1970]

Hi Andy, love the video. I would like to see Casper pull the wheels 2 feet in the air and go like a Banshee. The question is, How driveable can YOU and David make 800+ horsepower. And on another note, what is the purpose of the clay around the intake port. When the motor is in the truck it will only have the intake manifold, could you please explain this to me, thanks. Cant wait to see you assemble the motor. See you in the next one.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Thanks for the kind words... When you flow test heads you can't have the sharp edge of the port entrance because it will disrupt flow... Most nowadays use a 3d printed "manifold" that has a Radius entry to smooth the air transition into the port... We use them as well but didn't have one to fit this new head so we went old school... Good old modeling clay works just as well it just takes extra time... But it is all about smoothing the air flow into the port itself... Andy

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

800hp and being drivable is going to be a tough challenge.. one advantage of these heads... I don't think it is going to require a really big cam to meet the goals... We shall see... Andy

[@davidhartenstine190]

[@Robert-mn8gc]

Apparently Greg is going 2 upsize the valves on his mighty Tall Deck Windsor that made 928 hp & 674 ft lbs tq. It's already breathing incredibly well & not far off a race head . So my guess is these changes will tip it over the edge 2 a race head . What's Ur thoughts on that .

So they have 10 head bolts and you just use 8 of them on a Windsor?

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

No, Greg Brown took the basic BOSS 429 idea and downsized it to create these heads that fit either a Windsor or Cleveland block..

[@mattjonesturbo1]

Them heads flow great numbers as cast for sure but are limited to a light car like a fox body or turbo setup. I would think the reason Kaase stayed with big blocks is the power potential. The sr-71 heads can make 1100 hp for a lot less money and would benefit a heavy vehicle, just my personal opinion.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

With the port velocity that these heads have it would make some serious torque. We are looking to make well over 1.4 ftlbs per cube NA on pump gas... That is Engine Masters territory. The purpose of these are for the guy who wants a BOSS 429 and get it in a small block package.. 750hp NA on pump gas from 429" of Small Block Windsor

[@olderthanyoucali8512]

The original Boss 429 heads flowed extremely well, but weren't successful when used in Drag racing . It was because they worked great at wide open throttle, but were to big and failed when they tried to use them for the drags. It maybe that these super big port, high flow heads will have the same problem if used on a drag race engine? And may not work at all on a street one!

Would ❤ 2 c these Hammerhead Boss Heads on a bigger stroker motor (460+ 9.5 deck height) with whipple marine intercooler with either 4.0-4.5lrt Whipple Supercharger. Would have 2 be 900- 1000+ hp & the tq would be monsterous.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

With the power these heads make NA I think it would be safe to say you could make 1400 plus with only 14-15 psi of boost! So yes it would be a Monster! Thanks for Watching and please Subscribe to follow along on the build! Andy

[@RSDX99]

As a Ford guy I like any SB heads that can generate more HP than a sb Chevy, my only problem is that most racing organizations will only allow inline valves because 99% of the racers are running in line valve heads. Woo has outlawed Cleveland heads on the Fords since the day the Casey Luna Ford won the championship years back. Show up at a sb modified show and you will get banned.

I would like to see the heads tested "as cast" because I believe in the heads being max'd out by the builder in the "fast as cast" mode. I do not believe that a buyer of these heads should take delivery and then spend thousands more for porting. What I'd really like to see is to take a set of heads, flow and port them to the max, then recast the heads using the molds from the ported heads as the example and then make them conform to that mold. I've seen the price schedule for these heads, and they "start" at around $6300. Then add in another couple thousands for porting, that's BS. The "as cast" heads at the $6300+ level should already be max'd out as to flow. No porting should be required at all.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

I can tell you that in Stock form they can support 800+ hp NA I do know that people have exceeded 1100 NA so it really depends on what a person's goals are.. I'm doing them on MIXED UP BOSS as cast with a power goal of around 750hp in mild street form... Thanks for Watching! Andy

I think at this level of cost and complexity, as cast is not very interesting. This is not for engine building 101 and I en sure the heads will be ported sooner rather than later. I am looking forward to be impressed. :)

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Finn your level of being impressed must be very high.... To me the fact this head can support 800hp NA out of the box is more than impressive... Making HP these days is taken for granted.. because this kind of power years ago could have been only achieved by a Max Effort Race program..

@@timbaker4327 there's a reason we have more than 1 manufacturer of heads and other aftermarket parts. We all have different preferences. 800hp isn't a big deal today.

[@racerd9669]

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage Hey I bought my first SF100 in 1970 and my SF600 was serial #11 and I would always make my inlet flow radius out of wood. But you need to have a portion of straight before you enter the port. It does make for more accurate data. I did some of the cylinder head design for John K at CID and intake manifolds also. In fact John would CNC machine a inlet radius for me and then I would have to add a section of wood to it to get a straight portion at the flange, otherwise it would whistle like crazy.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

@@racerd9669 yes sir on the wood.. I have put a router to good use making manifolds! You are right about having it straight portion before the inlet.. It does make a difference! I feel pretty good about this head it has good port velocity and port energy given its runner size the goal is to make at least 1.4 lbft per cube on torque production from pump gas.. I can't wait to get it finished and on the Dyno! You don't still have that SF100 laying around do you?? I would love to have one just for the shop! Andy

[@racerd9669]

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage Have you ever looked into how the wet flow is on that head. I think wet flow is much more important than dry flow. When you do your dyno work you will find out just how good the wet flow is. One of the Cleveland heads I designed for John ran on the dyno with 17deg total timing to make best power. That is the true measure of how efficient a head is. Oh no, I do not have any flow bench , only my home built wet flow bench.

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage The Higgins heads are 430 cfm out of the box, and will make very good power. If 500 cfm is achievable with ported Hammerheads they may possible be the best flowing SBF heads ever made. It will be interesting to see how they do on the dyno, and the track. At 500 cfm I don't see a problem getting to 750 on pump gas and NA. You can make fairly large ci Windsor's... And with that many CFM, the port velocity mentioned in another response, you might as well go big cubes.... O_o ....
