Cam for Turbocharging 5.0 Reply #31 – October 02, 2011, 09:41:56 AM "the runners on some of the aluminum clevland heads are big enough to fit a golf ball"That may be so, but the size of the port is not the only thing that makes power, the degree angle of the cylinder head and how much of a straight shot the air gets to the valve. I Know even mentioning the LSX motors will get me flamed but with the 12* heads that they come with stock flow a tremendous amount. Look at the Facts, ported 5.0 heads are flowing 220cfm, STOCK LS3 heads Flow 330 Cfm, Ported Ls7, And the new small bore LS7 heads flow over 400 CFM.Dollar for dollar chevy motors make more power. You can build an All Motor LSX motor, buy a set New LS3 heads from gm for under 700 bucks, buy a used L92 Short block from an Escalade or Truck, Cam it and make 500rwhp with bolt ons. You would have to have a Healthy set of heads, AND power adder on a ford motor to make that much power. And before somebody throws the new Coyote motor in this mix, Look at the costs, Used L92 shortblocks can be had for under 1500, Heads for under 700, stock LS3 intake that also flows outstanding for under 400 bucks, and Bam 500whp... I dont know how much it costs to build a "cleavor" But id like to see the Dollar Vs HP figures of the two motors Quote Selected
Cam for Turbocharging 5.0 Reply #32 – October 02, 2011, 12:47:31 PM The LSX is a modern design. The SBF and original SBC are more closely related. Of course a modern V8 is going to make much more power than a 50 + year old design. Take a original 350 Chevy and a 351W Ford. It's costs about the same to get 500 HP out of either of them. Neither of them can touch a LSX for N/A power though. Quote Selected
Cam for Turbocharging 5.0 Reply #33 – October 02, 2011, 02:17:58 PM clevland heads my not flow better than LS heads, but they're still a huge improvement over the stock windsor junk we're left to choose from. building a clevor 302 with stock heads isn't all that expensive though, mostly just in the intake department because you either have to run a BOSS intake or buy adapters to run a windsor intake. price motorsports sells the adapters for 200 bucks i believe? they may be 300, but i'm not going to check, i'm on my phone Quote Selected
