Default Re: Brumfield Heads

While I'm here, I bought a used high compression head a few years back from a friend, he didn't know the history on it. But the combustion chambers are heart shaped. Anybody on here able to give me some idea what I have for a compression ratio? Or who might of made this head? There are no markings anywhere.

Only the Head Man has the capability of doing that.

The only real way to know the compression ratio is to cc the chambers, and to know what bore x stroke you're going to run it on.
I cant help you with who made it.
Good Luck.

Pictures would help. Particularly. the top of the head and the bottom with the combustion chambers. If the top has not been modified from original, there would be a good chance someone here could recognize it.
