The AFR heads we chose are the smallest rectangle-port heads AFR sells at 305 cc, which we chose to increase the inlet velocity through the ports. The heads come with 2.25/1.88-inch valves and 118cc combustion chambers. What was especially attractive was that the 305's exhaust-flow numbers compared well with most other Rat heads we investigated. |  Rather than be conservative,...  Rather than be conservative, we decided to step up to a more aggressive Comp Cams mechanical roller cam to make some decent street power. This also required AFR roller valvesprings to control those massive 2.250-inch intake valves. |  To ensure we had a solid induction...  To ensure we had a solid induction system that could feed the fat Rat, we opted for an Edelbrock Victor Jr. single-plane intake and a Barry Grant 850-cfm Mighty Demon carb. Everything we've read claims that even a mild street motor like this could benefit from a larger-cfm carburetor, but our budget demanded a smaller carburetor. |
