Edelbrock Victor small block head……

Question 1: how would these perform in a real world drag racing situation on a small block based around an approximately 400 cubic inch engine. Engine of course would be built around the minimum bore size, or so, needed to clear the 2.15 intake and 1.60 exhaust valve of the Victor?

Good work on the price checks for starters. It seems more reasonable now and even more that I forgot RB rockers will work for some savings.

I think that is the partial idea of the thread. It’s all bench racing to we have factual data. But every points to a good time on the strip.

Question 2: how would the Victor head perform on a 400ish cube engine with 15-30 pounds of boost? This could be fun.

I think that should be in caps! “FUN!” LOL!

Question 3: if I built an engine for these heads with the right combination of parts, could this engine up being a good naturally aspirated, street driven, often drag raced A-body at right around 3000 pounds with driver.

I don’t see why not myself. Here’s the caveat, the word “streetable” vary per person.

All day dreaming or bench racing for me.

Ditto until further notice! LMAO! At least with those heads. I have plenty of material to play with. I’m just getting under way in retirement. Still, a dollar and a dream…
Come on lotto win!

Don’t forget to add in the cost of pistons. They have different valve angles.

Do not most piston manufacturers allow a single mod to there pistons before becoming a “Custom Job?” I know it’s only a 3* change, but how bad can 3*’s be? That’s to say your not going nuts on lift.

I’d have the mod done if I could get that one change before custom pricing takes effect.
