Is 426ci 360 a small block?

zoinks - you used regular masking tape!? :eek:

I'm an irregular guy. I thought it might level me out and bring me back to the regular side.

I apologize if i missed it ... but what block are you using for the foundation..... and a BIG THANKS to take the time and show us a comparison between cylinder heads ....NOT very many builders do this ... I am interested to see how the BPE's perform.

I had to look again at the block casting date. It is a stock 360 block from April 1st 1978. I'd be a fool not to use it, as it sonic checked .176"-.230" on the major thrust side. And no, it is not an April Fools Joke.

I think there may be some confusion here. I'm checking the difference between the old ported ProComp/RaceMaster aluminum heads and the ported Indy LAX heads. My thought was, I would go to the BPE heads before I ever modified the LAX heads beyond what we have already done to them. I have no intentions to get the BPE heads at this time, but they would be my first choice in the future.

Now Ironmike is going to go with the BPE heads in his thread 'Missed on this combo?'

Missed on this combo?

Can the two engines be compared? I wouldn't do it. You cannot race dynos or flowbenches!
