Cut-away view of runner/chamber?

[MaineShark]

Does anyone know where I could get a cut-away view (drawing, not photo, if possible) of a SBC head? I know, in general, how the parts line up, but I'm interested in actual diagrams, to figure out some modification things...

In particular, I need the intake runner/valve bowl area.

Does this one put you in the right direction Joe: http://www.sierranevada.edu/people/chris/5-42.html ?

Try a Google search for "small block chevy intake runner valve bowl area", that's what I did and turned up many, this one was one of 'em.

Thanks. I think that did it, for now.

I was sort of curious whether it would be possible to install fuel injectors directly into the heads, rather than the intake. It looks possible, but with extensive machining and custom fabrication required.

The best location, from what I can see, would actually have to pass through the water passage, which would actually require a custom casting, with "plugs" in the areas where the valve bowl is closest to the outer surface - then a hole would need to be machined for the injector, through that plug.

I think it might also be possble to install injectors in the area typically enclosed by the valve cover (there would need to be tubes through the valve cover, to keep the injectors separate from the rocker area).

Just something I'm thinking over, for future consideration...
