depends on if the cam is advanced, retarded, or straight up. But with those numbers, the motor outta come on strong at 1800 or so and start dropping power by 5500. But there are so many variables in an engine, this is only an approximation.

Clevelend heads on a windsor, didn't know you could do that.

Yes' it involves re-routing the water jackets to flow thru the intake mainfold, not too difficult. I got bigger valves that way, but with todays aluminum heads I would think twice about doing it again. But I did get 2.10 intake and 1.71 exhaust that way.
