Took the heads today to the machine shop, getting fully massaged with stage 2 porting, valve job, better valve guides, getting the cams polished for insurance.


But, just got finished with my timing cover.... take a look at the shine on this puppy...

you can see a reflection in here...

Here are some updates...

The Canton Windage Tray...


The long tube headers....


3 core radiator for super cooling that high compression..


And dual cooling fans from an SVT Contour.. believe it or not, it fits perfect.

Good news..... GOT MY HEADS IN TODAY.
Here is the latest updates.
Heads were milled, stage 2.5 porting and polishing was done, new exhaust valve seats, new intake valve seats, new manganese valve stems, new valve seals, all new oil galley plugs and freeze plugs, 5 angle competition valve job, cams were polished smooth, and painted.
I have installed the heads with the old head gaskets just to verify no piston to valve contact issues and none was evident. Now I need to remove the heads again and install the new head gaskets, then it is off again to get degreed and dialed in. Here are a few pix.
Heads fresh out of the bags...


Porting on the intake side...


Porting on the exhaust side...


Porting and bowl work on the combustion chamber...


Detailed bowl work...


ARP Head studs in place...


Heads installed...


Rear view, I really like the color contrast of paint and brass freeze plugs...


Engine timed and rotated, with all new timing components...

Not entirely ture Timmy !!
The block is basically the same, just 4V heads and cams (is all the more you will pay).

But ummmm.... who is gonna build it for ya?

[timpryor]

got a quote for PMP, its gonna run me about 8k for a fully built long block using my stock teskid block and crank,since the block and crank are forged already, it should be good to about 750+RWHP

[96greengt]

You have a slight advantage from the get go. You have the forged crank and block. I started from scratch with just a complete Windsor block. But I am saving buttloads of $$$ by doing the labor and install myself. Just paid for the machine work (cuz I don't do that).

[timpryor]

unless you want to say.........build my longblock for me

oh and the compression will be about 8.5:1

[96greengt]

I can build it... I just need it here to do so, and then picked up once done.
My compression is 11.2:1.. hehe!!!

[timpryor]

but my car will have one extra thing that yours won't it starts with a B and ends with a T.

I'd like to talk to you friday at biffs about this

Bad Tires
Bad Timing
Bald Tires
Bunghole Titus
Big Tits

hmmmm, oh what could it be............... BoosT??

It's still an option for me, I just have to sell my rotating assembly, and if I do, I will stroke and boost it, but that would push my build back to at least the end of the year, or even more.
