That looks like it should make a difference :D

There's a lesson in porting right there.

Yeah they were sent to jpercision. Apparently all big engine builders use jprecision. I guess it's cost effective and the end product will be consistent.

I'm assuming you're talking about the welded and shaped floor on the exhaust side? Mark said they build the floor on just the intake side on the ds heads since the flow isn't that good. I looked at the jprecision site and only mention welding the floor on the intake side.

They said there was a port stage equivalent to NCR. Complete port redesign and lots of welding. Ducshop said it was expensive. My wallet was already pissed.

Did you have Mark port the manifolds to match as well?

Yeah. Port matched intake manifolds and FCR adapters.

I wish I'd photographed my heads and manifolds as well. They were (are) purrr-ty.

Going slow. I have one head reassembled minus shims. I'll finish the other tonight or tomorrow.
It'll be awhile before it runs. I still need to sort out my cylinders and buy some pistal pistons.

I'm really tempted to split the cases and balance the crank and install arp rod bolts.

Well.
-Sold my ferracci pistons finally.  [thumbsup]
-Put my heads back together with my DP cams
-bought pistal pistons to replace the ferracci ones

Now I'm waiting for some more play money to send my cylinders off. After that, I'd like to rebalance, maybe lighten the crank and install arp rod bolts with new bearings.
