So I have a tall deck 8.0L bbc as advertised by gm industrial. Mine was in a generator made by Generac and has some interesting parts. Scat crank, nice rods, speed pro flat tops, 1 piece rear seal. It looks new inside (ran on propane?) My question is about the heads. They look like a "fastburn" style chamber and has the 2.06/ 1.725 valves. I haven't cc'd the chambers yet. The only casting # is a Generac p/n. They look like oval ports. Im going to try to

get 600 h.p. naturally aspirated from this combo. Do you think I can do it on these heads with some port work?

i think 600 hp is obtainable with nearly any BBC head. However the whole combo needs to be set up well. It will not be a real tame combo. Probably a solid roller cam with fairly high compression. Also much bigger valves and high quality parts to work with that roller cam.

Looks like those could be the peanut port late model vortec style heads , Do they have a bolt in rocker or stud mount style rocker , A picture of the top side of the head would help . Once i see this i could give more accurate advise or possible a casting number .
