So I'm puttin in a freshened up 454, non roller 95 lower end .020 over. the heads are the 7400 vortec series 96' and up (puny valves, whatever) I cannot locate any flow numbers on these heads . anybody have an idea? they are the gen 6 vortec heads 100 cc chambers large oval ports. I need the numbers to choose my cam. prolly running about 9-9.5 compression. flow #'s are all I need .. unless you know a few secrets about how to clean up the ports/bowls on these peticular heads. Thanks R.B.

Nobody has any idea?.. they have approx 290 cc on the intake runners. I thought for sure somebody somewhere would have hooked these up to a flow bench. with all the good things they say about the smallblock vortecs these would do OK

AFR's site has flow numbers for many stock and aftermarket heads

Chevy High Performance magazize has a database of flow numbers. You will find links to the numbers at the bottom of the url below.

Might find something.
