Well I finished porting the heads. Tomorrow I'll bring them back to G&R for bigger valves and to mill them down.

I tried to snap some pics but this camera stinks,

I don't know much ether, figure tomorrow I'll find out where I did good and not so good

 

Flowing them cost more than porting them.
How much did you take them down, or did you just
smooth them out?

 

I pretty much followed these instructions.

I open the intake port, smothed out the pushrod bump and cut down and tapered the valve guide boss.

I didn't get a chance to get them back to G&R, fighting with the leaves and watching my Jets loose this weekend. I'll have them out next saturday!

 

What did you use to grind them out?

 

die grinder ($9.99 special from harbor freight)

and carbide burs

the next day your head rattles from the compressor and die grinder, plus everything taste like metal, but all in the name of more power.

 

Hey Mikel is there any way to pull that up,(Northern Tool) or do you
just have to wait till it pops up sometime. I go to links and race tracks .
I just bought off set wrenches from Harbor Frieght Tools.
Looked for the Northern tool banner first.

 

Cool, I always like helping those that help us

 

JZ, did you also open up the intake/exhaust ports ?

I did a set of heads last year on a Chevy motor....very DIRTY work.
The garage was an absolute mess.

 

Yep, rounded off the exhaust port and straightened the intake out. Ford leaves a big bump in the intake passage where the pushrod tube passes.

 

Drop the heads back off at G&R for bigger valves, valve job and mill down. He said the ports look pretty good,

getting closer

 

Another step forward is always good
