Scott, have you got numbers for an ootb afr 325 on your bench?

I'll look and see when I'm back at the shop. I might...

or you could just make some up.

they probably didn't perform as advertised,but you fixed them up right,huh.

You just can't wait to take a $hit on this guy at every turn, can you?

kind of looks like deep seated hatred,they must have some history we don,t know about.i take no sides cause i like both of them.

Ditto. I really like S30 and have always respected his opinions and knowledge, Ive used a lot of it lol. horspower1 is new and an acquaintance of cstraub so I think that's where the shots are coming from. I'm just sick of all of the shots at everyone here. OSO has turned into a waste of my time now. I log in most days, but I'm now logged off within 5 mins. I use to think of OSO as some of the most knowledgeable adults on the internet. How dumb was I...

It's everywhere. The whole world is going to sh.t. Rarely a day goes by where I'm not litterally shocked at humans behaviors. Is it the chemtrails, vaccines or food and water were consuming???

Or the political environment we all live in...

Welcome to Salem, home of the witch hunt... We have a few residents who are not happy unless they are burning someone at the stake. We used to have a lot more residents,happy fun smart residents, but a lot of them left because they were sick of the stench of burning flesh.

nope,,but his answer was vague,,its like asking if you own a certain car,,answer is a quick yes or no,,not,,let me look in my garage(then google pics showing you own one)
and fyi,I'm just giving it back to him as he does to others.If I or anyone not on their side pulled half the misinformation these idea stealers repost,he would bash them to death.Hax will find out in a few years when his combos get retold by them(as their own).Its in their play book.
just look at the new Driven Oil thread,BUP already posted that info 2 yrs ago.but now he tries to claim some new finding.Plus he could have just put up the article and not plug his buddies website,,do believe thats not accepted on this forum.

Im sure haxby is capable of forming his own opinion. He simply asked if foxwell had flowed a set of 325 afrs.

Just thought I'd post this for all to see. I can't support the authenticity of however take a look.

Just a quick FYI. If you're going to use the Merc oil pain and dipstick, the EQ heads do not have the 1/4 20 hole in the head to the upper right hand side of the exhaust port and you'll need to drill and tap the head.

It's an easy fix, just an FYI for those who are adding these heads.

^^^ I used a step bit, opened the hole up on the dipstick hanger and moved it to the front

Makes sense. These are MPI engines so there's a lot of bracketry up there.

Same issue with my Dart 308s. I just used the bolt that holds the fuel water separator to its bracket mount. One other annoying thing is all the accessories on the GM heads were 7/16 bolts, and the Darts are all 3/8. Just adds more time especially when doing two engines.

A good amt of other Aftermarket heads do this too.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the purchase. While they flow better than my old heads, I like that but more importantly though, I am much more happy about the work setting the heads up this time around.

Last shop, I paid good money, like 2500 to rebuild two sets of dart heads for me. They installed new valve seats, which was half azzed done, weren't even the right seats for those heads, they probably had them laying around the shop, and installed them. Install heights were all over the map, some at 2.020, some at 2.050 , some at 2.000, not a single shim anywhere to make up any differences. Using a .680 ID locator, with a .740 spring inner ID, which was causing the spring to wear on the valve seals, retainers and locators showed signs of severe spring rotation, cutting into the steel on them. and set the springs up over 1/4 inch from coil bind.

The new shop I used, set everything up beautifully. No more varying install heights, springs setup .090 from coil bind. Each spring was individually tested for consistant pressure, and coil bind , which actually resulted in finding 1 incorrect spring in the batch of 32 that got slipped in the new packaging.

We opted to run without the little spring on the exhaust valve seals, like merc did on their supercharged engines, getting a little more oil to the ex guides. Added stud girdles, and replaced the crane alum rockers with Comp's new Ultra Pro Mag XD steel rockers.

I think steel rockers are the way to go. Bad application for aluminums fatigue life.

If you get your valvetrain sorted and spin those babies up, you should make some big power.

I like those rockers a lot and I've been running them for about 5-6 years now. I used to run the hi-tech 1620's but changed to the 1625 Utra Pro Magnums when they came out. They also give a lot more clearance under the valves. Also running them on the MPI's I'm building.

I was on the fence on either the 1620-16 Ultra Pro Mags, Or the 1820-16 Ultra Pro Mag "XD" rocker. the "XD" was almost 100 bucks more a set. The only difference supposedly is the pushrod seat being billet on the "XD", and their rated pressures they can handle. The "XD" is supposedly good for 1100lbs open, and I think 900 lbs open for the non "XD".

It was a tough call being a cheap bastard as I am, but went with the "XD"s anyway.

Good to hear someone else is using them with good results.

Since foxwell put up what the EQ heads flowed out of the box on his bench, here's what the AFR 305 and Dart 310s flowed on his bench as well.

So was the afr' left/right int the same?

No, but almost no big block chevy head is the same on the Left/right ports.

One other small FYI on the EQ heads. My standard spark plug socket does not fit in the recessed area so I could not use a spark plug socket to install the plugs. I had to use a standard socket with a thin wall in order to install them. Just a heads up.

What plugs are you using?

ngk r5671a-7

Strange. I just tried two different spark plug sockets, a craftsman and off brand, both fit fine.

Snap-on socket works fine.

Ran into same thing on my AFRs and KRE Pontiac heads, one of the 2 i had to even reduce the OD of a good snapon socket to get it in plug recess

Mine must be machined differently. Two heads the regular socket went in fine but a little tight. The other two heads were a little trying.

My AFR's go in ok for me.

Weird!!

The EQ's have a nice crackle...

Sounds good !

Sounds real nice! What cam and expected HP?

268741, 540/570hp.

You gonna dyno it Frank?

Planning on it.

Cool. Mine should be ready for the dyno pretty soon.

# 5 hole on the starboard engine is real tight, had to use a thin wall 5/8 socket to get it out ( AFR )
