Cylinder head volume and deck height
« on: January 06, 2006 - 09:45:51 AM »
I am getting a set of cast Iron Stage IV head rebuilt.  The machine shop did a liquid CC test on them and said they are 74cc.  There is not much info available on this particular head and most web sites say they are 86+ cc.  According to Chryco stock they should be 88cc. So I figured they must have been shaved.  But maybe the website is wrong??  I don't know I am confused!!   :dunno:

But I want to run a stock 6pak intake on them and am concerned about the fit.  Does anyone know the stock height of the head so I can tell how much the've been decked?  Or do I just have to try it and see if it fits?  I also need to verify the CC on these heads again because I need to figure our my compression ratio and the best slugs to use.

The casting number is 3614476 on the heads. They are stage IV cast iron.

I do not have that spec handy , my machine shop will have it but it will not be open now til monday morn my guess if the heads were shaved the intake face will be milled propotionatly to allow the intake to fit
