82F-100,
That is what I was saying with going the exhaust ports the way they are located it limits the airflow.
I do know why you left them in the that same port design,,,so people do not need to buy or make expensive headers,which is why it does not flow that well.
So those flow numbers are for non ported/polished head,so what does a ported & polished head flow ???
So, you are also saying you can install 2.02 or 2.08 intake & 1.60 or 1.625 exhaust?
I thought the bore size (on the 200 ci engine) is the limiting factor on the valves that are installed on that cylinder head,,,, not because to keep up the port velocity????
I do not think you can install larger valve than a 1.85 in, & 1.50 ex,they will not fit, & even if you can install larger valves on such a small bore size, it would not flow much more regardless.
Don't get me wrong here, I am not bashing that cylinder head, I am sure it is much better than a stock one.
It would be great if Classic inlines would make a cylinder head for our Chevy inlines.
I would just suggest not to worry too much about guys not wanting to spend extra money for special intake or exhaust manifolds/headers.
The Chevy 194-292 cylinder head is a bad design siamese port,& I would not want it to be the same type of layout & just improve a little & be aluminum.
It need s a complete redesign.
two cents thrown :-)
