    One can see how the factory engineers were focused on lower rpm torque...it shows up in all the tests to some degree but quite extremely with this one.

    It’s interesting that the TFS R heads made the most hp and torque but showed a peak a few hundred rpm before the max run in the test while the AFR heads were still going up (a bit) at 6600. That cam was a pretty good match for these combos, but the AFRs might have liked to see 7000. The other comparison I can’t help but make is to an LS3 with a 469 cam-roughly 575 hp and 525 torque from 376 cu in and a 231 intake lobe vs the stroker 351’s 393 cu in and 248 intake lobe. Just shows what continued research and development can get you. Another great info-filled video! Thanks Richard!

  • @Dr_Xyzt
    @Dr_Xyzt 3 года назад +3

    The Brodix heads would be my choice. Once you shift at 6100 RPM, the torque shelf from the Brodix starts to mean a lot. Plus, 20 degrees less duration and a dual plane will turn it into a fun truck engine, especially with a 250 shot. In fact, I wanna see the port match on those Brodix heads. A bit of die-grinder action might be in order for that intake manifold.
    The AFR and TFS heads would be a blast in a cobra kit car with a faceplated TKO-600.

    Waiting for the next Mega SBF Cylinder head test. I am starting a 347 build and always wanted a Clevor (possibly a Boss 363?)but it seems other Windsor type heads might work as well without the .700 lift in the cam. I plan on a street/strip engine with Hydraulic roller cams and am seriously considering the Dart block. I like the 4 bolt mains and added block strength. This is a fine series and I am enjoying the information.

  • @roundtuitracingaz132

    I'm guessing the TFS high heads at 0.500 was 254 cfm and not 354 cfm. Also excel tip - highlight the cells you enter the specs in, right click on one of the cells then select format cells. From there select text. This will show entries as they are entered. Example. it will show 1.60 instead of 1.6. That's my pandemic OCD talking.

    I know it gets kinda busy when you overlay all the graphs, but i would like to see some comparisons between the aftermarket heads too, for example the TFS R vs the AFR 205, and some of your thoughs on the flow numbers vs horsepower, why did the AFR that had the best intake air flow and the best exhaust airflow didnt post the highest horsepower number?

    @danmallery9142 3 года назад +1

    I totally get your comment about comparing peak HP for all of them. Even the info you have given in these tests cannot paint the full picture. It would be impossible to give a true analog for all the combinations. Each head would have to have the unique cam and all the other components tailored specifically to that head. Then, you would have to look at what you are actually building each one for since these heads all have a slightly different design philosophy, ie the relationship between torque / HP and where they fall in the RPM range. One other thing: can we all look at how incredible AFR stuff performs? It does not have the peak flow numbers like some of the other heads but it still came in second in peak numbers only to the full on TFS R heads. Jon Kaase once said he doesn't even like to post flow numbers because they are not even close to the most important factor to how a head will ultimately perform. Thanks for this incredibly detailed comparison. I cannot even picture how much work it was to put it together!!! Cheers!

      @danielwilson6665 3 года назад +2

      @@richardholdener1727, I’m not clear on what you mean by “high end” but from all indications the level of curiosity about the substantial performance gains possible with canted valve (Cleveland) style small block heads is higher now than ever before. That’s probably because the availability of Cleveland based heads from sources in Australia and the States has never been higher.
      The available options make them a good choice for all types of racing where pushrod V-8’s are allowed and the rules don’t specifically restrict their use because of their “unfair performance advantage” in competition against in-line valve heads.
      Of course aluminum castings are plentiful in “as cast” and CNC versions along with brand new iron versions. 2-V and 4-V port and valve sizes offered in raised port versions with a good choice of intake port volumes up to 245 CC’s for serious small block builds. There are plenty of high end valve train components available including individual shaft mounted rockers.
      I know it’s not practical for you to obtain examples of these heads for comparison along with dyno results but I would be glad to loan you a pair of the high port iron heads that were so popular in Pro Stock and NASCAR competition.
      Mine were professionally modified by Larry Widmer at Endyn Inc. and includes an Edelbrock Scorpion single 4-V intake that has been extensively modified in the plenum with port wall extensions and specifically port matched to the iron heads. They are fresh with touched up valve seats and new guides along with new Crane springs for a solid roller cam.
      If enough people were interested in seeing a real Cleveland head comparison done in your typically great manner, it would make a good RUclips video. Just need a few sets of good Cleveland heads on loan to make it happen....

    He says it's solid lift cam flat top pistons with 11 to 1 compression.
    Don't see how that carb could feed it.
    I have a 351w gt40 heads and a mild flat tappet cam and a 750 carb that works good with my set up.
    Please respond with feed back I'm sure there are plenty of knowledgeable people out there that can agree or call b.s.

    I'm a chevrolet guy personally but this was super interesting to see the differences....... the only curiosity I've got now is what about throwing a set of Cleveland heads in the mix? im mostly interested in the LOSS of power that would be sacrificed to gain some power in the top end. I've heard so many stories about the Boss 351 being amazing but lacking bottom end, so why not see what it does on a 393 incher?

      Davie Jones Lockr, as you probably know, the factory iron four barrel heads have massive 242 CC intake ports and 2.19” valves. The early 1969 Boss 302 Cleveland heads had even larger 2.23” intake valves. The Ford engineers obviously designed them for high rpm power without sacrificing very much lower rpm torque when combined with a well balanced combination of induction and cam components.
      But the guys with the “bigger is better” mentality started using monster cam grinds without increasing the static compression or upgrading the intake or exhaust flow velocity. To make matters worse they would sometimes use the stock differential gear ratio instead of going with steeper gears to match the cams power band.
      The results were a noticeable loss of low end torque. The problem has gotten worse in recent years with so many internet experts expressing their clueless opinions.
      But with a well balanced selection of parts the loss of intake charge flow velocity and the resulting loss of low end torque can be avoided or kept to a minimum. As with most naturally aspirated engines with healthy cam grinds, the power band is moved up. But around 3000 rpms up to the typical 8000 rpm Cleveland redline, the power hits and keeps on building. Power is power but there’s a sound and feel unique to the Cleveland.
      The Cleveland heads really come alive with the extra cubes of a 393 or 408 stroker drawing on them. When aftermarket aluminum Cleveland heads are combined with an aftermarket Windsor block (aka Clevor) with stroker displacement over 460 cubic inches, the power production is amazing.
      There’s a good example here on RUclips and definitely worth checking out. It’s an Australian built Clevor posted by Fullboost. It’s a 461 featuring Higgins Cleveland heads and built by Dandy Engines in Melbourne. With a single four barrel carburetor running on 98 octane Aussie pump fuel it pulled 934 horsepower @ 669 lb/ft of torque. That’s all engine with NO power adders. On race fuel it pulled 979 horsepower @ 700 lb/ft of torque. It was built for a daily driven street car.
      Australian Clevelands are popular like small block Chevys are here in the States. Badass for sure 👍.

      @@danielwilson6665 yeah I understand all of that already minus the Australian build...... my train of thought was more along the lines of since we have all these big power Windsor heads in play, it would be interesting to overlay a single cleveland pull in the mix because hey, same application, and the guy buying heads is probably wondering if it would be worth his time and money to travel the path less traveled. I wasnt asking for every version of the Cleveland style heads..... just a single line to show how different the same bottom end could act with just the top end swap.

      @@DavieJones_Lockr, the Australian made CHI 3-V alloy head would be a great choice for canted valve heads to toss into the mix of Windsor heads for comparison. I believe Mr. Holdener has already posted his research results using the CHI heads. I wasn’t trying to cast any negativity towards the Windsor heads. There are some really good examples available. Since Cleveland style heads have the same cylinder bore spacing and head bolt patterns are identical to Windsor heads, they are a fairly straight forward bolt on with the ability to support big power numbers, they deserve an occasional mention when heads are being tested.

    I was wondering how a big hydraulic roller cam would work with this combo instead of the solid roller.
    I was also wondering if you might have any suggestions on what might be limiting a hydraulic roller from revving to its potential. Are pedestal mount 5/16" bolt rockers a limit? How about old factory Ford lifters?
    I am running into this with my 351w with a Lunati Voodoo
    20350712. I have the matching Lunati dual springs installed on my Blueprint (NKB) 190cc heads and 0.080" walled Trick Flow chrome moly pushrods.
    Engine will only rev to 6000 rpm. I have seen on another channel where a guy with a 331 ran to 6500 with this cam retarded to eliminate the 4 degrees of advance that is ground in.
    Duration @ .050 231/239
    Gross Valve Lift: .571/.587
    LSA/ICL: 110/106

    I have not checked the installed height of the springs. A friend that builds Mopars suggested I shim the springs so there is 0.030" clearance between the coils at max lift, but I have not checked my clearance.
    Thanks.

    • @KingJT80
      @KingJT80 3 года назад +1

      It's a combination of both not enough duration and maybe not enough spring.
      I suspect you need the next cam up in a 351w to run the 6600 and at least a 200cc head
      A 190 on my 302 is a 6500 rpm head.
      On a 351? Yeah 6000 is about right. Those springs it comes with aren't gonna get you to 6500 anyways the comp cams 987-16 lunatis etc are made for a 225 duration cam and I've seen ls1 guys run them to 6400
      You need a spring with AT LEAST a rate of 400 and seat pressure of 145+ to do it

    Paused at 4:10 to make a prediction after looking at the port flows: The AFR head will win, not because it has the highest intake flow, but because it has the highest exhaust flow. It outflows the second best exhaust port (DRT) by 10-14% from .25 to .70 lift.
    Afterwords: Drat those Trick Flows! Beat the AFR's by 6 hp and 4 lb*ft.
