Here they are. Yes the 496 was the only BBC to last the 300 hour dock test. 300 hours WOT. 55 minutes WOT 5 minutes idle.

I have the HP3 heads. They have 108-109cc head chambers. Raylar says they flow as good as his aluminum heads. I have to agree.

How did they get those flows? Is that based of a stock head with CNC? I heard the jackets were .020 away from going thru....
