A real good friend in Ky ported and flowed them for me. He is VERY reasonable and GOOD!!!! He said that they were the BEST stock smallblock head he has done. They flowed pretty well too.

Some of standard cylinder heads mods, didnt respond well. Some very very simple things worked excellent. Its not always bigger and hawged out is better. Shiny doesnt mean fast.... ...they are great little heads in my opinion, and can be made to work very well with MINIMAL work.

Simple ( usually means obvious ) things always show big improvement when you are starting with A stock casting. "Shiny doesn't mean fast" is a true statement. Fastest 300

IMO, port finish has little to do with flow ( changing the boundary layer / fuel drop-out, etc.). Those things are driven by port shape and velocity. I like smooth ( shiny if you will )intake ports for the same reason I make the exhaust ports and backs of the valves smooth. They just stay cleaner longer. I'm sure there are a million professional porters out there that will disagree with me on this, but - there has to be something that seperates the amateurs from the professionals. Fastest 300
