I knew a local machine shop that had a back room full of castings. He let me take several for testing. My ‘56 was newly allowed the “520” castings. I discovered the 520X castings.
Held more CCs than legal. I had decked my block a lot, so needed to mill the intake side of my heads a lot so the manifold would fit. Got rid of some intake CCs.
