Tom, Thanks for the pictures and comments.

Panic, As always thanks for the insight.

Larry, Thanks for insight & references.

And Scott you too!

Hank, Now I understand why you traded your Clifford Intake for my Offenhauser. laugh I may need to find another one.

Moregrip1 I really don't know what to tell you. If your engine will see 3,000 rpm often the other head might take less work or at least easier work. For my low rpm truck engine I see compression & velocity on the bottom end as a bigger + than greater flow in the upper range where my cam won't work anyway. I might be persuaded to go with a 1.84 intake but even that might cut velocity. It may make no real difference at all. I will do some shaping to the bolt boss and clean up the ports a little to help speed the flow.

It seems like every time we do this new/different information or at least pictures & ideas come up. Good discussion guys!
