Dear Dan,


              You wrote:  "....and shear vanes screwed into the intake port

              For the amateur engine builder, what are shear vanes?

                             Very curious,  Chuck Engles

A while back, Dave McLain flowed a set of old iron closed chamber 4V heads
with the 1970's Pro Stock style high port exhaust plate and shear vanes
screwed into the intake port floors.  I thought I'd share the results.
Flowed on a Super Flow bench.  Tested at 10" and converted to 28".  2.19"
intake valve and 1.71" exhaust. Completely stock combustion chambers.

Not too bad for 1970's small block cylinder heads.
