These got fully hand ported by Rich at WCCH.They were 225 heads and now are at 235cc running 2.125" intake valves.Springs are the new TSP .700 lift shimmed for my .640" lift Cam.

Hopefully my Edelbrok Super Victor intake shows up so I can port match that and get this motor back in the car.

I know flow wise they rock and make good power, just know a few people who have had problems with them, I would guess you probably know more about massaging them then they did. I know 2 people that had problems fitting an intake manifold to them (unmilled), but that was a few years ago, maybe it's been fixed.

Edelbrock makes an elbow that will clear the bird hood, I'm guessing he got that or something similar

Keep believing that.....that intake is great for a big cube engine, the Victor is just too big for a 346 unless you have a ridiculous race only cam. It's like putting a 103MM Fast on.

I have the Edelbrok elbow here as a paper weight. Tried it on a 408 car the the Victor junior.Had problems wit hthe car making power.Switch to a sheetmetal elbow and picked up 100rwhp!!!!! That is not a misprint,Couldn't believe it my myself...

Edelbrok Elbow= CRAP.
