I think this shows pretty well that the 440Source heads are basically aluminum copies of factory heads with minor improvements. Also those saying the factory heads have low flow for the cubes they fed, that is true but keep in mind the BBM was first released in 1958. The common big blocks from Ford (385 series) and Chevy (Mark IV) came later and had the benefit of better knowledge about flow. Also the first BBM engines were small displacement, 350-361 initially with the raised-deck 413 soon after in 1959.

Very cool video. I'm only aware of one company that has a CNC program for 906 heads and while I've heard good things, its nice to see some independent testing. I'm personally impressed! Going back 20+ years ago, I had a unported set of 906s on a rebuilt 440. The modifications to the heads were just bigger valves (2.14" / 1.81") and springs to match my mild aftermarket "purple" camshaft. The 3600lb car ran 12.90s @ 105mph in the quarter. Eventually I pulled the head and had some quality bowl blending done, but nothing extensive. I had the heads flowed and the result was high 240's cfm peak flow. With the new head work the same set up ran 12.49 @ 108mph. Finally, I bought a set of Edelbrock Performer heads when they became available about 1999-2000. Edelbrock claimed 290 cfm, but testing later exposed that those claims were a bit generous. The Edelbrock heads were more likely flowing in the 270s out of the box. With the Edelbrock heads and a larger solid flat tappet camshaft the car ran a best of 11.9@114mph With a number of aftermarket heads available it's easy to make good power with a big block mopar these days, but sometimes you want to run (or have to run) a stock iron casting, and this is an excellent option for those circumstances. Long live the 906 head!

Back in the day ported a LOT of 906 heads and 915 heads as well. I ruined a few sets like you said getting into the water jacket but lesson learned. I found the roof of the intakes were the most important the floors hardly did anything really for the work involved. The fact is I used to build up the floor a bit jb weld worked find but you had to drill holes so it would stay put but then I would take out the metal on the other side of the port till it broke through then build it up with jb weld. The roof and width of the intake made the big gains and like you said with the guides being trimmed and the exhaust seats and raising the floor make good gains. Then I used oversized valves intake and exhaust all that and making sure the valves were un shrouded real well made those 906 heads pretty respectable. But it was a LOT of work to do. 312 .590 solid lift cam 11:3.1 compression everything else you would expect intake headers etc.. 68 Road Runner 4 speed 10.80s @ 130 MPH 3650 lbs with me in it.

A Super Stock head w/2.08 valve flows over 300 C.F.M. if you're into flow bench racing.

In 1977, the 1.81" exhaust valves weren't available off the shelf, but the 2.14" intake valves were. The 1.88" Max Wedge exhaust valves were available, so we cut down the 1.88" valves to 1.83", with a 0.100" margin. The valves we used back then, had standard stem diameter and single groove valve locks were important to use with solid lifters.

Prior to getting off the shelf pistons we either welded up the chambers or used custom pistons. And due to the cost of custom forged pistons we did a lot of strokers. WE also did a lot of using 67 915 heads which did not have the open chamber, still no factory head and the Edelbrocks and similar do not have a good modern combustion chamber GAS I am not saying open chambers cannot make good horsepower on Chevron Custom Supreme, SUNOCO or race gas but this is usually past the torque peak like Super Stock For street HD or towing a quench chamber and tight quench makes a big difference How much? With a cam without a lot of overlap EGT can drop 700 degrees,

Actually, there is a benefit to having the flat areas (where there "SHOULD" be a quench area, LOL) machined: someone (KB?) does or at least did sell pistons to fit up into that area to make quench, but guys never got good results with cast chambers because they were always slightly different depths - if one piston had a good clearance, another was a mile away, and yet another might be waaayy too close for comfort. Funny there's no back cut on those intakes. A little surprised; those heads don't look like they were really trying to cut corners on the job BTW, I wonder how that bowl shape compares to the shape of the old Direct Connection templates... FWIW, that casting family (2843906 is '68-70; the later ones were pretty similar) universally seem to stall around .420-450" in stock condition Wondering if the short side radius is better on that for 40 Source head

There was still a lot of material to take out.. Funny how they don't do hand finishing on these things. That job wasn't cheap for the customer only to get a half way there. And for the guide job, it really depends on the valve how much it wobbles. If the valve head is heavy and the valve rides on a near horizontal angle the guide needs to be longer, but if the valve is light and vertical, the guide can be shortened quite a bit. I had one engine that had done a full rally season with half the guide length and still ran great. It had titanium valve heads, so all the weight was on the stem.

There were several basic casting designs for the ports, the early -66 and prior 516 heads: sucked. The 1967 only 915 had a smaller chamber and the 906 port design, these are commonly considered the "best" normal port cast iron heads. The 68-69 906 heads had the open chamber and the same "good" port. After 1970, they had a bunch of numbers: 902, 452, etc, but they were basically all the same ports, with other differences like seat hardening. There were also, for the 452 heads at least, some that had added steam holes for police cars and trucks and RV's and such. I have a couple pairs of these.

some running comments Valves 11/32 or 516 valves, you can get a better than stock valve for less money than stock replacement and you are going to do the guides anyway arn't you? Now the best HD valves for towing, truck, motothome are the440 motorhome valves SILXB materiel on the intakes with Hard Chrome (copper-nickel grind- chrome) stems Exhausts are Nickel heads like Inconel Stock valves may have a flash chrome "chrome"' stem s which quickly wears through and is not for wear in the first place, it's for non rust shelf life. I OD hone all valves and 50 year old valves are not going to pass The previous hot tip to use the Direct Connection 2.14 intakes and 1.81 exhaust can still get you better seats but they are still heavy and MOPAR hates heavy. PS on Trucks we used to take these DC valves and cut a 30 degree seat on the intakes with a .450 lift cam I did not try radius seat but others did not recommend on intake. Valves will be sunk on old heads and MOPAR does not like sunk valves so put in some HD Durabond sintered seats And after all this you could have bought some new Aluminum heads I have 3 sets of 915's all ready for valve jobs that I will never get my money out unless I find a resto 67 GTX project. back to the video

Head flow is just one aspect of performance. Bench talk bla bla. Rod to stroke ratio has huge affect on performance too. And Mopar big blocks have a rod to stroke ratio to kill for! Dont believe? Just look at the classic big block shootout Landy and Kasse and that chevy guy. Mopar had the least cubes and slayed both ford and chevy Merciless! Eat your hearts out. Smile😊

Tell me how a 440 with these heads run as good as they do. These heads suck ass, but I've seen plenty bb Mopar with unported cast heads run like a bat out of hell. Add the weight of everything and it gets worse. They are built like a tractor. But damn they run good for a bunch of heavy junk.
