383 air flow ????
Ok, considering some heads for the 383 'maro engine. Be nice to me, I'm a Ford guy!!!!
Looking at 64 cc, for a CR of 10.8:1--or so sez the shop doing the engine--I haven't seen the engine yet, supposed to be done in a week or so. Anyway, assuming the builder is correct (he is a good builder btw), I suppose about 180 cc runners would do.....However, I plan on playing with things a bit, solid roller cam, and of course with the high CR it will be another E-85 fueled engine.... It does of course take a lot more fuel with ethanol, no problem there, a 750 or 830 reworked for ethanol should do fine (?) but maybe I might want to go to 200 cc on the heads and a tad over .500 lift on the cam???
I know, hard to say without the piston specs and squish data, but help me do a bit of guesswork, ok????Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
Calling out car models.. my brother and I made a game out of that. we could be walking down a street or riding along in the car with our parents and who ever could say the model name the fastest...
How did you get hooked on cars?
