Hello Don, The manifold was purchased with the motor and is a small port Offy just powder coated. The build is comprised of a 409 crank 6.135 BBC rods, Ross Pistons, 10.2:1 Schneider cam-hydraulic 226/228 @.050 lift at .520”-530” on 110LSA, double roller timing, 409 Pan, two piece timing cover (show cars) Melling oil pump and 079 heads (i know) with 1.7 roller rockers and offy valve covers. i am sure i am missing something and any input is welcome!

ANOTHER 380! Depending upon which head it has and what's been done to them,this motor can make up to 425 hp.

thank you. Yes the heads are definitely limiting us but we were shooting for 375-400 so we used our budget on some other upgrades and always second guess the thinking.

With stock heads[379's] you might get 365 with headers,add larger valves such as 2.06 in.,1.72 ex.and a little bowl work and you'll be closer to 400.

Don is right but I would highly recommend you find some 333's. They are pretty cheap and you can stuff a rather large valve in them. More importantly they are designed with larger runners than the 379 is capable of no matter how much porting you do. Good luck! Enjoy it!
