I was trying but I'll do it if you don't want to. I just need to finish the cage, make the engine cross member, trans crossmember and motor mounts first.

I'm NOT going to hog these heads out. I will clean them up and work on contures and such. We have to watch what we (I) do here. It is best not to change the bias of the ports. I'll look at them soon. But, don't expect a GREAT change in the flow numbers. The 195cc will be plenty for what ever we do. These heads will be just fine.

Hey, not a problem if you want to do the heads. It's all yours. I've got plenty to do in my shop. If you want any input I'll take a look at them for you if you like. Should not be more than 8 to 12 hours of porting work for you.

According to Ben when he picked up the heads they told him that they did some port work already. So hopefully they will just need to have the edges smoothed on the combustion chambers.

They said "bowl cleanup". I have no idea what that means. Curiously, they too said something to the effect of, unless you really know what you're targeting, I wouldn't port them.

Ron, you got's big plenty to do.

Glenn, I want to settle on engine config, then work with you on efficiently optimizing the intake -> heads -> exhaust. I'd like to get this engine work underway while Ron has the car for other fab. Concurrency is magic. But the 174 is the hang up right now. I'm happy to do the bulk of the real work once I have a clear understanding of what to do and a little practice.

Some interesting things are going on in my life right now. But, nothing more interesting than an engine that needs too be "figured" on!

The bowl is the section behind the valves which is what Glenn was taking about doing. If they have already cleaned them up that saves us a lot of time as long as they did a good job which I'm assuming they did. This means we would only need to clean up the combustion chambers and match the intake and exhaust ports if needed.

Something tells me most of your life has involved interesting things. The important thing is that you have the appropriate priorities for this project.

Why don't we do a Hiperf class on heads and stuff (porting also). It'd probably be 3 to 4 hours long--longer depending on the number of shots of Mexican Happy Juice.

Sounds great. Let me know a handful of times and locations that would work for you, and we'll set it up. My garage is fine if your shop isn't up and running yet.
