Reply to "Edelbrock Clevor"

Dennis' opening remark was about a magazine article about building Street Boss 302 & clevor motors using 2 new Edelbrock Performer RPM intakes that allow Ford guys to bolt the Edelbrock 351C 2V heads on 8.2 & 9.5 deck Windsor blocks.

I think this is bitchen news for guys wanting to build "Street Boss" 302's and Clevors, because prior to this building these engines meant paying big bucks for a used 20 year old B&A Performance manifold if you could find one.

The CHI head Chris has referred to is their 3V head.

The Edelbrock heads are 2V heads.

This is an Apples & Oranges comparison.

The only fair comparison would be the CHI 2V head and the Edelbrock head.

I personally would like to see somebody build a max effort motor using Vic's heads to see what they're capable of. The iron 2V heads are good for 500 bhp after porting & a set of larger intake valves. I would think Vic's heads have greater potential. For instance, the CHI & AFD 2V heads are 600 bhp heads.

There are no "bad" heads in the Cleveland hobby, the worst heads, cast in 1970, are capable of supporting 500 bhp.
