Quote: ? With the ability to use epoxy, I would think you be able to get the port shape back to whatever you wanted. Also, one would be replacing most of the valvetrain anyway. Also, since there is less meat on the intake port side, has anyone thought of welding the top of the intake ports a certain amount, then re-machining spring seats and rocker stands, you would just longer pushrods after that correct? I figure you could get a .25 to .375 more height in the port.
I don't think you'd need to weld on these to allow raising the port. It weakens the head, and these heads already have ports high enough for you to be well into the "diminishing-returns" zone. They just don't require much re-engineering unless you are involved in all out ($$$) racing. Sanborn..you're my hero. Never has so much 1st hand experience with detailed know-how (+ engineering based analysis if required) along with the willingness to share been around for Dodge guys.
