Default What do 587 smallblock heads flow?

Trying to remember where I stashed my chart showing what '74 "587" smallblock stock heads flow vs. pocket porting/bowl blend and on up for the Desktop Dyno and Virtual Engine program files. Can't find 'em anywhere and want to dial in which intake to put on the ol' 360...anyone? 440cj

This was a very through article on what-ifs in porting the heads.
The large 1.72" valve was a cutdown big block chevy "tulip" backed valve to see just how much flow they could get from the exhaust. When they actually built the heads they used a tulip backed 1.65" exhaust valve simular to the Hughes Engines cylinder heads.

Some other things they found was that filling the intake port floor (between 3/8" and 1/2") increased port velocity without reducing port flow, basically showing that there is no need to remove material from the port floor of the intake port.

The numbers are somewhat imformative, but if your interested, you need to read the article so see what was done and which mods are really not normally done like the 1.72" exhaust valve and completly removing the pushrod hump in the intake or filling the port floor. These type of modifications would be too expensive for most usere except racers that are limited to using production heads.
