.400 249 178
.500 279 189
.600 286 201

Considering that many different flow benches (and types) show different numbers... and like you mentioned, flow numbers aren't everything.........but on an adverage bench at 28inches of water(and if no pipes or shady tactics were used on the bench).....those are pretty healthy numbers for a factory casting LT1 head and they should make good power .................Joe

I'd say those are pretty good numbers for a stock casting too. I'm a little suprised that they flow that well on the exhaust side. You'll want to keep that in mind when you pick out your cam... I'm not sure what route you're going, but you may be better off without the big split in duration that you normally see on an LT1...

actually, LE2 are 275/190
LE3 are 280/195
given, those are probably underrated

I don't see where he ever said that these are a stock casting

So who ported these? And what castings are they?

Have to agree there isn't any detail. Just what are the details?? chamber size, intake size...........brand??

Decent overall numbers but 211 @ .700 doesn't look like normal LT1 heads.

Most of the contiguous 48 and a few in Hawaii.

Lloyd Elliot ports cylinder heads into different specs, he has packaged them by output from the LE1 to LE3 for the LT1. An LE2 Head/Cam package is a $1700ish job.

Then again, like the others said are these the stock castings?

This thread was made over a month ago. If you do a search on the original poster's post history, you'll see he's been here quite frequently since then. That being said, the fact that he hasn't even attempted to answer anybody's questions and offer more details says something.
