We put this project aside for a more important re-creation.
The 263 cylinder head project needs to be completed and I was hoping you might want to pick it up from the point where we left off.

I'm willing to share any of the files and drawings if someone wants to complete a same side or crossflow design head for the 263.

The challenge is: The head has 13 head bolt locations on the port side of the head.
If all 16 ports are on the same side there will be 8 ports with head bolt locations in the center of 8 of the...
There are 13 head bolts on the port side of the head.
When there are 16 ports on one side, 8 of the head bolts are in a port.
Similar problem with the cross-flow head with 8 symmetrical ports on...
I've attached the 263 hole locations reference off the corner defined by the 3 locating bosses on the side of block and the front of the block.
Handy if anyone wants to make a torque plate.

Autotec will make you a set of 4032 aluminum alloy pistons.
The piston clearence will be less that .003"

1953 263s engine ID started with 6950620-4 according to the ID reference section
So it could be from a late 1952 Special

Thanks Scott for your input. We will stay with the stock head bolt pattern.
After doing some combustion chamber models and consulting with Al Dicksen from HRD racing heads we settled on an open...

Great looking 12 port head. Nice Work!
One of the obstacles of doing a 16 port head for the Buick S8 is the 13 head bolts across the port side causing the bolt holes to intersect with the...
Thanks Scott, the video was helpful.
The biggest concern is getting the water passage around the intake and exhaust ports to keep the exhaust heat away from the intake ports.
We did a single...

I just have the preliminary file which shows the aluminum occupied area.
I would need to do the inverse which would give you the sand mold and core cavity pieces. Correct?

Would you be able to do a 263 aluminum cylinder head casting off of a solid works file?
Where are you located?
Paul
Did the information you were reading say why the 64 head would not work on the 65 block?

If the water pump was damaged by frozen water, then you would have to be concerned that any water in the block might have also frozen and cracked the block.
You would have to take the bare...
The TA 212 meets all your requirements. It provides a wide power band in the range you specified and has just a very slight lope at an idle.
The TA 212 cam works best with compression ratios between...
This has been an ongoing source of frustration for many trying to budget build a BBB. Here's the problem.
If you want an engine that has high horsepower and reasonable street manners you need port...
OK. Roller lifters are only used on roller camshafts.
TA Performance are the only ones that have cam blanks for BBB roller cams and as a result are the only ones that have BBB roller lifters.
If...
The thread is entitled Roller Rockers and your post says Roller lifters.
Which one do you need?
Paul
OK, let's try plan B
Stay with your stock heads and bring then to Greg Gessler
Let him do the Stage 1 conversion and some port work and chamber cleanup
He is only 120 miles from you in...

You can start with the MSD 8552 distributor. It is a ready to run unit that only requires an ignition coil to finish the system.
It also has a built in rev limiter if you are using a...
The 430 in the previous post #7 is a 448. The reason is: there aren't any "off the shelf" forged pistons for the 430 so you have to buy custom pistons.
Since the pistons are custom you have the...

The 455 will certainly give you more displacement to work with and the TA Stage 2 SE heads IMO are the best heads to work with.
Tell us more about what you are thinking for the...
Once the engine has been removed from it's original drive train it loses it's Stage 1 identifiers.
Stage 1 and Non-Stage 1 heads have the same casting numbers and the only way to tell them apart
is...
Here is Edouard's 430 with the MSD distributor built buy Jim Weise at TSP
It made 509 hp @ 5500 rpm and 539 ft lbs @ 3900 rpm using STG 2 SE heads- 315/225 at .500
