Remember that not all cylinder heads were legal for this competition.
Only those classified as "street" heads were allowed so heads like the
Ford Motorsport C302B's or Brodix BF300's (both of which are better
than the CHI 3V's) were not allowed, let alone something like the state
of the art FRPP D3's. By and large, the small block Chevy guys didn't
even bother to show up (only one made the show). My guess is they
realized there were no SBC heads legal for the competition that were
capable of flowing enough to win. The Chevy guys showed up with canted
valve big blocks but the port sizes on those really weren't well suited
to the displacement and compression rules. A few years back Kaase won
the big block competition by welding up a set of BBF heads to bring the
port sizes way down. Did you see they let one of the Mopar guys (Hinkle
Performance) run a W9 induction package? Supposedly the those heads were
flowing in the 370 CFM range bu Hinkle had to drop out due to a retainer
failure. I was surprised to see the Windsors doing so poorly. By my
reading of the rules, most of the race Windsor heads should have been
legal but it's still tough to compete with a canted valve head.
