Reply to "Brodix Alum Heads"

I'd add that the flow figures Dan posted for my heads had minimal port work. I'd say 5-10 minutes per hole with a fine cartridge pack at most on the intakes. Perhaps a little more on the exhaust ports. I wouldn't have characterized it as much of a port job. More like polishing and light bowl work. Even so, the're pretty much in agreement with the flow data at the Brodix website for ported heads. Considering they were pretty much out of the box, the numbers from .300 to .600" lift were reasonable so I didn't mess with them. BF301s also have lots of stock to port as you desire, and thick decks-rumored to be more material rich than C302Bs in both these respects. They're very similar to C302Bs in almost every way (CC volume, 196cc intake runner, dimensional interface is identical, slightly smaller valve OD though you could go larger). Never heard of heat treat problems with them. I didn't test for this but from the quality of the finish on machined surfaces I'd say they were pretty fair temper.
