FWIW guys.... the stock Hemi heads flow about 268cfm. A Easy Stage one porting of them can get them to 300+cfm.
FWIW anyone who complains that it's not a Hemi is a moron... The quench pads in the chamber are the only thing that lets them make these motors work on todays engines and pass emissions regs. Plus it makes them a better performing cylinder head by far.

no clue.
All the comments about Lightnings and Cobra R's had me returning to the first post to see what this thread was about...

FWIW an opposed valve layout in a two valve head has always been considered a "hemi".
Hence this is why this is called a Ford "Hemi" IHRA Pro Stock head
Once you convince big time guys like Kaase and Sonny that these are not "Hemi" heads i'll go along with it.

Well I was always told that a Hemi was a HEMI because of the Hemisphereical combustion chambers, hence the name "HEMI." The above head does not appear to have hemisphereical combustion chambers. Sure it may have the same valve layout and hell it may even work better than a "true" hemi head, but I dont think that that makes it a "real Hemi." (One with the correctly shaped combustion chambers.

You respect the 5.4 but not the 4.6? You do realize the only difference is the deck height...
And I'm sure John Mihovetz really hates his 4.6 since you seem to think it is one of the worst designed engines. After all, who wants to make 1600+ horsepower from 281 cubic inches?

got to hate that POS 4v ford that will spin 8,000rpm on the stock bottom with some mild cams.....dont hate on that motor when you know nothing about it.... the 2v is crap ...the 4v makes the LT1 look like a total POJ
I like the 4v mod motor....I just hate mustangs
as for the hemi...this is what I think of when I think of a hemi ....old school
