If I'm not mistaken, stock CJ heads flow less than a set of C8AE/D2TE's that are ported with larger valves.

Why can't someone make a sound track in CD of a displacement whistler like they use in stock cars, a sure way to identify a motor? Once you know the stroke you can find the bore be it standard, .020", .030", .040 or more oversize, you get the idea? A home displacement checker be it out of plastic made in China plus cheap for home use.

Three years ago I loaned out my Bore Scope to a IA (inspector aircraft) friend, he claims it was stolen from him. Well there goes my $850 speciality tool
that Pratt & Whitney gave me as a "departing gift me to me". Sure worked great on motorcycles, FE's, even lawnmower motors. Wife said NO WAY on her!
Back to the whistler, I recall it would detect the difference between a hot motor and a cold motor in different displacement readings due to block / bore expansion.
All you would need is a pitch tone vs displacement chart, the most accurate way would be tracking the frequency on a dual trace oscilloscope (mine quit workong) with the proper microphones.
A strange mind thinks in strange ways, why be normal?

Well guys it maybe a few year until I tear it down, So I guess the mystery is solved.. From what I have seen at the old barn.. there a hogpog of FE there and parts stolen from all of them ( My guess would be to keep this one running ) So who knows what I have.. 360-390 heads. 4.05 stroke, Iron 4bbl intake, cross bolt mains.. Who knows what it is.. what FE came with w 4bbl iron intake? And is there a way to date the heads?
