Factory heads and intake
hpwdboss1 September 17th 2014, 9:22 pm
I pull in a tractor class that requires we use factory iron heads, block and intake manifold. We must use a 650 Holley and a MSD box with a 6k chip. A wide torque curve is best. Is there any benefit to cylinder head modifications (i.e. porting etc.)? Perry

We run 500 c.i. or less, running 3.85 stroke and flat tappet. Pretty open other than that. We are at 14.8 to 1 comp ratio. Racing gas, no alcohol. Tuning mods only on carb. Perry

Port both you need to get all you can in with good air speed and use the cam to get it out.

Max effort port the factory iron heads, iron CJ intake, and offset stroke an OEM crankshaft to 4.125", 6.7" rod, 4.39" bore 1.54"-ish c/h piston, and you'll have a really good 499 CI platform to start with.hpwdboss1 wrote:I pull in a tractor class that requires we use factory iron heads, block and intake manifold.

Or you could stroke to 4.05", 6.7 rod, and a KB IC855 for a 490 (+0.030") to 497 (+0.060").....

Thanks for helping again, guys. Have spoken to Mr. C. Evans and going to work on a fresh pair of heads.
