OLD Modified Corvettes

Beautiful car Joe! And would still look, and sound great with a spec say, 321 c.i.d. The challenge in my opinion, would come from the short block design, intake internal porting, cam choice, carb choice, gear ratio, and chassis set up. The challenge would still be there, and the hard workers would still be rewarded. It just takes the money, and guess work out of the heads. Valve jobs would be a MAJOR challenge. Just think, we would NEVER have to search for a better head, or the head porter of the week. We'd look at cams, and intakes REAL HARD. I've ran the spec head, and the thing I found consistently with 3 sets of Chevy heads, and 1 Ford set, was no 2 ports on the same head flow the same. But, it's the same challenge for everyone. The set I ran the best with flowed 258 on the best port, and 253 on the worst port at .700. I did see one head that flowed 269 on a couple of ports, but were slower on the car. Go figure. The way I look at that is, if you think those flow numbers got you beat, you were real close to winning.
