AFR 265 BBC Heads... (Lets take a look at them)!!👍#11 Chevy 454 Big Block Performance Build..

AFR 265 BBC Heads... In this Chevy 454 Engine Build, the bottom end is pretty much together and so its time to take a look at the top end of this engine...hence AFR heads.
Most people know the top end of a engine is where a lot of power is made and also the engines characteristics on how it preforms in any given application.... (THE WRESTLING MATCH) How to get enough cylinder head and intake for the hero HP numbers, and not kill all the rest of the engines performance characteristics.... Big Ports and High Peak flow numbers sell, but sometimes leave a customer dissatisfied with engine performance.... Having been a person that had a flow bench and ported heads at one time, I learned it wasn't all about peak flow numbers. The low and mid lift numbers and port velocity have a very important part in the engine's over all performance...
So on this engine build I did a lot of research on cylinder heads offered, and went with AFR heads 3610-1, 265cc port BBC heads, the smallest port they offer for the BBC... Lets look them over together and we can review the many good points that I see in these very well made cylinder heads... These heads may not be everyone's choice for there application, but for this build, they will suit this engine perfectly....😀
