340cc or 360cc A460 head?

All - I am seeking input on the best A460 cylinder head choice for a NA 547 engine (the A460 head is the best head allowed by rule...). The engine is a 4.500" bore (Will go larger later as I can go up to a 588) and a 4.300" stoke. Pistons give me 14.2:1 with an 87cc chamber and Lem has already provided a camshaft for the engine. The question is which A460 head am I better off starting with (will have either ported to maximize power)? Note - I won't be using nitrous or other power adder and the engine will be in a 3200# car with a Powerglide and 10.5" tire.

You already have a custom cam but don't have cylinder heads?

i would discuss that with Lem , if he already provided info for the cam design im sure yall have discussed the cylinder heads already ....

cast or sheetmetal ????

I have a good set of ported 340cc heads which Lem used as a basis for the cam, but interested to know if there is any gain to be had with my combination and the larger heads.

I have to run a cast intake.

How are they flowing?

A ported set of 340s are nolonger 340s. They could be 355cc, 362cc, etc. Have you cc'ed them?

max hp build ???? max rpm ????

Working on gathering the additional info now. I have flow numbers but confidence in them is not high. I will get back to you on flow numbers and port volume.

Lem - I will call you when I have the data. Thanks!

Max HP build.
