A bit different. http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enth...ck-ford/ar-BBDGSSv?li=BBisPVf&ocid=spartandhp

That's pretty cool - reasonably priced too. Wonder what hp gain there would be simply from changing to those heads on a modified engine.

Cool, but useless. The AC compressor won't clear the valve covers. Priorities man, priorities

Would like to see the combustion chamber. How it will be with pump gas. The Sonnys hemi for BBC, Not that great on 93. With boost it kicks ass. This should also.

Those are big flow numbers for a small block head. They are also wicked cool looking, so they will no doubt end up in some street rods. Looks like a factory intake works on the heads. Not too expensive. Should be a winner.

Flip through the slides and you will get a look. They call anything with opposed valves a Hemi these days. The chambers have the popular "heart-shaped" design.

Not really a Hemi combustion chamber,more like a bathtub or ''semi-Hemi''. Even the modern 5.7l Chrysler ''Hemi'' in my Magnum R/T isn't a real Hemi.
Real hemispherical combustion chambers look like these,as per an old Triumph or Norton:

Yes, The BBC head is technically still a wedge style head, Abeit with huge valves. Spark plug moved to center of chamber.

A big hit at car shows.

Too bad they won't fit the 351-C. One day I want to find and restore a '72 Cougar XR7 (my second car). To use those heads, I'd have to swap out the Cleveland engine for a Windsor.

 

[gadget73]

Well, its not impossible to put Cleveland heads on a Windsor block. Perhaps it could go the other way too if you make an appropriate intake.

,as per an old Triumph or Norton:

or Harley Knuckle, Pan, Shovel heads or the ironhead Sportster. Tha 4 cyl Alfa Romeo (all aluminum, 1.6 and 2.0 litre), 6 cyl Jaguar and the early Toyota (2TC?) engine come to mind as true hemispherical combustion chambers.

Yes, those are very cool.

Try some of these, they don't have that hemi head factor though
