lol JP Antique Roadshow always recommends that you never disturb the natural patina.

Heads are done, and back at Aric's shop. He is good to go now for the engine build after the Fun Ford event here in Atlanta.

Now that's more like it! Bling! Bling! LOL...

Even if they are 'stock' you can tell everyone some mad flow specs you had them ported to and the monster 'stealth' cams you had installed.

lol No secrets here... This is what I know - They are 96-98 Cobra heads and cams that were freshened up. They were disassembled and cleaned, surfaced, and the valve tips were machined - valve job. The valve guides are new bronze, and were sized and matched to valves and the spring height has been set using new hardened valve spring shims. Everything was done to safely spin the motor at 7k rpm, and beyond...?

I'd be really interested to know the cam specs if they give them to you. Lift, duration, separation.

Thanks.

Make sure he port and gasket matches the heads on the exhaust side. That is where the biggest gains are to be made.

That's not all they gotta put the rocker arms in there to make anything work.
