CAN I RUN FACTORY REC-PORT HEADS ON A SMALL BORE 4.8L/5.3L? CAN I REPLACE THE 706/862 HEADS ON MY 4.8L/5.3L WITH LY6/LS3 HEADS? WILL MY 4.8L/5.3L MAKE MORE POWER WITH HIGH-FLOW, FACTORY REC-PORT HEADS? HOW MUCH POWER ARE REC PORT HEADS WORTH ON A 4.8L/5.3L? WILL THE REC PORT HEADS EVEN FIT ON THE SMALL-BORE MOTORS? CAN YOU NOTCH THE BLOCK TO MAKE THE REC-PORT HEADS FIT? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I DIVE INTO THE INSTALLATION OF A SET OF FACTORY L92 821 HEADS ON A SMALL BORE 4.8L/5.3L? USING THE SECTIONED ALUMINUM BLOCK FOR VISIBILITY, WE CAN CLEARLY SEE THE INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE BIG-VALVE 821 HEADS AND THE SMALL BORE 5.3L CYLINDERS. CAN WE MAKE THEM WORK?

    It's good to know others will still experiment, trial and error with things that are important. Like going fast in a car.
  • Pro maxx extreme 240 heads a rec port and for 3.800 bore That would be interesting as well. But yeah a 5.3 with a 300 plus cfm head na will be spun to the moon but will be mean on boost
  • @GrandPitoVic
    Wow you Def answered a question I've had on my mind for the past few years since I've been watching you. Thank you sir. More great information sir.
  • @davidreed6070
    Pro max has a rec port head that they have put a smaller valve and moved it over to work on the small bore engines. That should work well
  • @bobjensen7136
    Thanks for your demonstration. Sounds like the same problem that Chevrolet had that similar problem with the 348 and 409. Also the possibility of hot spots in the cylinders at the point of the head gaskets and a little way down the cylinder wall. In other words it would really complicate those arias nearest the valve and the cylinder walls too.

    I am runnin ls7 heads on my stroked ls3, the exh valve was the main issue and we machined it to give 0.030” valve to cyl wall clearance.

    I solved this by trading for a 6.2 block. I used LT pistons, milled to fit chamber, and give slight compression boost. PVC MUST be ck'ed. Very tight !
  • @youritake8618
    This would make for an interesting build if combined with that big bore 4.8 idea
  • A set of custom pistons could resolve some of your problems, domed pistons to bring back compression, then move the rings a little further down the piston to allow for adequate clearancing for the valve pocket. Bada bing bada boom

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say yeah grinding it out like that doesn’t seem fine. Also you probably will affect the flow with part of the valve in a pocket like that. Cool video was guessing those heads would be fine. Oh, and that chunk you would have to grind out also adds as the the compression chamber volume.
