Ford Stocker idea?

Jeff & John, From memory we had trouble making power from the 271 HP (HI-Po) heads back in the day, due to the heart shaped chambers. Ford used them to up the compression. They shrouded the stock sized valves and we found more power in standard heads with big valves. You are correct all the SBF heads, I saw had the same size ports. There were some expiremental heads that Doug Nash, on his Bronco Funny Car, ran that he could not talk about. Old mother Ford helping us little guys, NOT!

Fred

P.S. These are from my observations back in 1963 to 68.
