Default Re: In defense of 6 cylinders

The reason that the G&H 6's did so well against the V8's, is that the intake and exhaust ports were so much better. The V8 ports where designed in '32 for a 221 ci engine and they were never revised, even for the 255. All of them are 1.312" in diameter and they are very hard to make flow any better.

The exhausts, for the 6's, were just way better, period and didn't heat the water.

But, again, the V8 with 3x2's, finned aluminum heads and a crab dist, look WAY better.
