Head ****

Just as a point of reference, I have an RPM head here and the intake port opening size is 2.225 x 1.110.
The Fel-Pro 1213 basket is listed as being 2.270 x 1.160.

The space from the bottom of the port to the bottom of the head is .330”, so it appears the BPE head has def had the bottom of the opening lowered.

crudely measuring with a geek squad tape measure …I come up with just over 2.5 inches by 1 3/16 or so, might be just a hair wider.
