Flowbench updates

#1
Before benchmarking and modifying a new hemi head for my fox build I decided to update my old flowbench with a new clear acrylic top. I made up some string tools to allow me to look into intake and see where flow is going but also read about using string on a scrap valve to see how air flows below the valve using thin thread. The clear plastic lets me look up and actually see the valve. I also made the bore adjustable with slide in sections held in by a pin so I can go from 2.75 to 3" in 1/8 increments. I made a new valve opener just for the HEMI as it was difficult in making my old clone opener work accurately with a canted valve head. This unit mounts on the rocker pedestal with a pin.

A stock clone or Honda head flows about 45-55cfm, a Hemi and a rtc6 head flows about 48-60cfm...
A P&P head flows about 50-65cfm... A P&P head with 27/25 valves flows about 55-73 fm... A good P&P and 27/25 valves flows 58-78cfm... For starters...
