Edelbrock heads
Is it true that if you enlarge the valves to a 2.19 1.77 on a edelbrock head you need a certain bore size to compensate for the larger vslves

I would call David Butler at Butler Performance in Tennessee and see what he recommends the minimum bore size for the 2.19 intake valve to be.

Butler Performance Edelbrock Round Port/Wide Port CNC machined 72cc 370+CFM cylinder heads use 2.190" intake valves. They suggest a minimum bore diameter of 4.15 inches.

Unless your looking for more then 340 Intake cfm@28" @ .725" lift then the as shipped 2.11" valve is good.
In a race motor when your scratching for every last hp, be very concerned with the flow numbers @ .200" lift while chasing the high lift numbers!

Butlers porting on the Edelbrock heads boosts peak flow to 315 to 320 cfm with the standard 2.11-inch intake valve, or 325 to 330 cfm with the optional 2.19-inch unit. This info was from a Rocky Rotella article in 2008. I presume it would apply to the 340 cfm heads as well.
Obvious, other sources may vary in their valve selection. ( And a fwiw, the info I mentioned previously regarding the minimium bore diameter was right off the Butler web site ) .

It isn't all about flow. Larger valve equals more curtain area, a very good thing! As long as the large valve isn't being shrouded be the bore. 4 valve engines are so great because they offer massive curtain area. With more curtain area the requirements for the cam become less.

VALVE / BORE ratio
CA equals the minimum cross sectional area of your intake port. (length times width) This is most times your push rod area, but not always. http://www.wallaceracing.com/head-flow-ratio.php Calculate What Intake valve OD Would Be From RPM and CID. http://www.wallaceracing.com/intake_valve.php .

Correct that's why you can run less cam. 4 valve engines use hardly any lift when compared to 2 valve heads. It's all about curtain area. You just have to watch that your not shrouding the valves.

I ran E heads with a 2.19" intake valve with a 4.155" bore and they were fine.

Your right that it's no all about air flow, it's about pressure recovery also!

Just had my EDL RPM Round Ports changed to 2.19 Intake with 4.19 (455 .040+) pistons. Plan to run 10-15lbs boost.
SPEED SAFE, NICK

Guess im not following how the larger valve effects pressure recovery unless it's shroud bad which i already said that shrouding can become an issue. Or is there something else im missing?

Stepping up from a 2.11 intake to a 2.15 on a 4.185 bore, my heads went from 339CFM@.700 to 342CFM. Changing to a 2.19 on the same head went to 345CFM.
I have run the 2.19 on a 4.155 bore. If the block has chamfers even less a issue.

Mike, if you dont mind. How much performance improvement was gained from the minor flow increase? Thank you

It did make more HP with the new valves/cam change, but at more RPM. 446CID, Factory 3.25 main block, Eheads, Original Wenzler and Carter AFB's made 785HP at 7200RPM. Car ran it's quickest et 3 weeks ago 9.79@137 tipping the scales at 3750lbs with full exhaust shifting at 7300RPM. Going out tomorrow to try another set of Holleys VS. the AFB's....

I recently put 1.77 exhaust valves in a set. Did before and after flow test. Picked up 20 cfm on the exhaust side.

Mike,
Are you running a 3 inch or 3 1/2 inch exhaust? |
