guy's,
got to see a ls V8 type head at my local machine shop. patterned a paper copy of the head and gasket.
the ls V8 has the same bore center as a sbc and our six's. the ls motors are also a small bore like our six's. the heads will flow lots of air even in stock form. they are also a 4 bolt per hole arrangement. they also have a 1.75 rocker ratio.
i fitted my paper copy onto a 292 block. the bores will allign perfectly. no bolt holes line up though. but they are very close to the stock locations. the valve arrangement is also different, it is IE,IE,IE,IE. i feel this head can be used easier than a sbc head and make more power. the cam would have to be ground for this special valve layout. aslo a side cover and pushrods would be custom.
thoughts?
