WoW!  IF it were a race horse, that engine would have been put out to pasture by now!
I got my March-April issue of Y-Block Magazine last Thursday. The first installment of Ted's report on the dual quad testing was interesting. It was with the 113 iron heads . Next installment is to show intake manifold / carburetor performance with the use of JM's cylinder heads eliminating any inherent power restriction due to FoMoCo head design flow issues.
Appreciate your time, effort, and reporting, Ted.

Hollow Head (7/17/2011)
Wow... almost like art . Ted, do you ever feel bored when you test and dyno that engine? Over 360 runs with Y-block - hey, ain't that some kind of a world record? Should we ask if Guinnes guys would come and make that official? Keep on dynoing Ted! That engine at the conclusion of the dual quad testing now has 632 dyno pulls and is still going strong.

That must be one of those HIGH PERFORMANCE VALVES. Notice how it is been necked down for better flow and has a rough surface to promote turbulance.

I’m just about finished with the cylinder head tests. There were a few holdups as I went along but no show stoppers. Here’s an intake valve out of a core engine that was running just prior to getting it. I borrowed the heads off of that engine and decided to disassemble the heads and check them out before testing them on the dyno mule. The standing rule is “Never assume anything”.

Tim. At this point I’ve run both the ECZ-C and C1TE-D heads that you had sent. The ‘Yellow Brick’ heads have yet to be run but are on the list. Your ECZ-C heads have been heavily milled and are currently reinstalled back on the engine in preparation for the next time the engine is back on the dyno. The C1TE-D heads are in the process of being heavily milled and the plan is to run these heads immediately after re-testing the milled ECZ-C heads. After that, I’ll install the ‘Yellow Brick’ heads and see how they perform. If all goes well, I’ll have the 312 back on the dyno during the July 4th holiday weekend.

The dyno mule is back up and running. Installing a sleeve in the number 8 cylinder was a non-event and the engine went back together without issue. Re-degreed the camshaft just to insure it was sitting in the same place and it was. Timing chain slack is remaining the same. The engine was baselined and is repeating the same numbers as before so all is good. Cylinder head testing is continuing on at this point. Once that’s complete, then I’ll put the new headers that are on hand through a regime of tests with the dyno mule back in the same ‘exhaust testing’ format that it was in for the other exhaust system tests.
