They don't use "I" in their codes to avoid this confusion.I reckon it was stamped wrongly ie: backwards, meaning it should read "1J14"1 = 81J = October14 = 14th dayThat's the only way I can see it lining up with the usual layout.Sent from my CPH1920 using Tapatalk 2 bear351c and CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHESTNUTXE 7,299 Posted July 10, 2021 Interesting........... like to see the test bench flow results.They apparently have half the size of that exhaust heater thing and the short turn radius is opend up or something he was telling me i had a look at these heads and they are a tiny bit different to the xb ones i did last weekSent from my SM-G610Y using Tapatalk 1 bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted July 10, 2021 A guy down the road swears by using black open or closed xd xe heads he reckons they outflow older ones by heaps Sent from my SM-G610Y using TapatalkI would be interested in seeing down the throat of one as I clearly remember how bad my blue 2Vs were before I gave them some love Interesting........... like to see the test bench flow results.Yeah me too. I have a feeling that early Aussie 2Vs were shockers, for the size of the ports they don't deliver ... They're only marginally better than a 351 Wheezor. I remember reading something like 180cfm on them whereas US 2Vs go up around 200. That's around 40hp difference when calculated out.I think it's just in the way the throat is cut in them, and the short turn is horrible. Also the casting roughness and daggy parting lines were shitty down the port.Sent from my CPH1920 using Tapatalk 2 bear351c and CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's about the size of a Windsor exhaust port. Not needed in Aussie climate.Sent from my CPH1920 using Tapatalk 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bear351c 10,270 Posted July 10, 2021 Quality may have been the issue, back then. No way a major company would spend thousands of hours port shaping, just put on a bigger carby..LMAO... 2 CHESTNUTXE and gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
