Explanation and Applications for ‘B’ and ‘C’ heads and Stage II or III porting

 

‘B’ designates the maximum valve sizes that will fit into a 4.0” to 4.060” bore. These valve sizes are: Intake valves 2@ 1.650” each. Exhaust valves 2@ 1.400” each.

The II and III designate the stages of  porting.

B-II porting has a port area approximately equal to a 220 cc runner. This is a Fel-Pro 1207 (Chevy) or Fel-Pro 1262 (Ford) gasket. (The runner volumes are not directly comparable because of  the different lengths of the runners and the runners are divided into a one into two ‘Y’ to supply both valves). This is why we refer to a cross sectional area of the port. Comparing the port to a Fel-Pro 1207 (Chevy) or Fel-Pro 1262 (Ford) for a stage II port and a Fel-Pro 1209 for a stage III port.

This porting is recommended for a street use 350 or 383 cu in (Chevy) motor or 302, 351, or 408 cu. in. (Ford) motor. It has high port velocity for good, all around torque. Along with the high flowing, low and mid valve lift numbers building huge mid range torque, numbers incomparable to any 2 valve heads.

Horsepower numbers in the 650+ hp range are very attainable, with street useable torque characteristics.

B-Series Stage 2 Port

B-III porting is approximately equal to a 265 cc runner, or a Fel-Pro 1209 (Chevy) or Fel-Pro 1262 (Ford) gasket. This head is intended for a 350cu.in. to 383cu.in. and larger for all out competition. The huge port volume yields flow in the 368cfm+ range, along with huge low and mid range lift flow. Remember this is where the cylinder is getting fully filled and fully excavated.

Meaning, more air ingested and excavated having a directly linear relationship on sheer horsepower. Horsepower numbers in the 750+ range.

Race oriented due to port velocity but street useable on a large displacement motor. In other words, not recommended for street use on a 350 or 351, but for a larger displacement motor, it would be OK

B-Series Stage 3 Port 

‘C’ designates the maximum valve sizes that will fit into a 4.125” or larger bore. These valve sizes are: Intake valves 2@ 1.720” each. Exhaust valves 2@ 1.450” each. This head is intended for engine sizes of 406 cu. in or larger

The II and III designate the stages of  porting.
C-II porting also has a port area approximately equal to a 220cc runner. This is again a Fel-Pro 1207 (Chevy) or Fel-Pro 1262 (Ford) gasket. Street useable on motors 406 cu in and larger.

C-Series Stage 2 Port

C-III porting has a runner volume approximately equal to a Fel-Pro 1209 (Chevy) or Fel-Pro 1262 (Ford) gasket. This is the head that can approach 1000 horsepower normally aspirated on a large high compression racing engine. Not recommended for street use in light cars with a high stall, or low drag gears with a manual transmission,  unless you have a motor over 406 cu. in. with a frame and body that will handle the immense torque.

(note: these heads will produce torque and horsepower that will LITERALLY rip a car apart)

C-Series Stage 3 Port

Notes on forced induction or nitrous.  The supercharging, nitrous oxide or turbo-charging of these heads is truly phenomenal. This severe duty has been built-into the design of the 32Valve Heads. In that, both the thick combustion chamber skull and the increased breathing of both the intake and exhaust ports which come into play to yield truly amazing and unexpected results. The centrally located spark plug and the 360 degree squish towards the plug yields both the shortest flame front, the fastest burn, and the least tendency to detonate of all the combustion chamber shapes possible.
