Great post Rob

Badmatt is PMing DG right now coaching him on every trick he can muster for that little SB2

It's pretty cool to think you can go about a similar hp goal in two very different yet similar ways.

We're both NA and both single carbs (well DG is afraid of my dual four intake so I agreed to use the single four figures )

Both motors are dry sumped and solid roller cams.

One's a small block Chevy and one will make more power

Well Shoot.. now you got us all figured out...

I do like the backwards heat dissipation idea though... Iron heads with an aluminum block.

Like the man says $$ can overcome a lot of other things when applied correctly.

In the past I've read a lot about how Iron heads make more power. I've had old time engine guys tell me the same thing.

Recently I've seen articles that debunk that myth or claim to. Those articles also say both head materials make the same power.

With an FE the head is actually small. The majority of the cool side is part of the intake manifold and so it's AL. The majority of the exhaust port is divorced from the main casting of the head. I think for Iron heads the design dissipates heat pretty well.

It does make you think more about cold valve lash.
