Got my heads back!! I had them cleaned, pressure tested and the one bad valve replaced. I had the guy do a mild port on the ports and he rounded off the cylender head side edge, which is some muscle car guy trick I guess. I got the heads on last night, I'll most likely install the timing cover soon and I have all next week off work to get the Z back togeather! Woo Hoo!! So now I have Arias forged pistons @ 9:1, Pauter rods and some headwork. Here are some pics:

rounding the edges is just for stress relieving purposes. if it was done in the combustion chamber it is just to help flow smoother to and from the valves. looks good though.you will have fun with it.

 

I never though I would ever say this to another man,but You have very nice heads!!

 

Do you have any dyno numbers before the headwork? You still running stock cams? And if you dont mind, you dont have to be exact but could you give me an estimate on how much the headwork you had done runs? Thanks....

 

We just took a little out and smoothed out the ports. I'm not sure I understand your question exactly. But if you're looking for a good shop the guy that did mine is awsome. And he saved the program on the CNC machine so if you want him to work on it he has somewhere to start. I'm taking an old head off my drag car up there for him to play with and flow test so when he does the head I'm running right now he will know exactly how he should do it.

Oh yeah, No dyno numbers. But my best at the track was a 12.9 at 6 psi, so we shal see next season i guess.
