It's 422 ci. How does that runner CSA compare to a L72 427 rectangular port head? I'll bet it's still a much smaller port to feed the same size engine. If you cam it right, I don't see why you couldn't have a civil engine with those large ports. If it was a 327, that might be a different story. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] </div></div>

If the question you are asking is the CC's of the intake port, they are 227's. I believe the L72 840 heads to be in the high 200's if not higher. Certainly, there is more to the puzzle from SBC to BBC (i.e. valve angles)

The size of the engine should help quite a bit as well as the weight of the car.
