My B1's came in today, they had info stamped all over them, which I felt was good. But I would like to know the company or individual that did them. They look to have been hand ported and not CNC'ed. They were stamped reading 67 cumbustion , 416 intake cfm, 3o2.5 intake. The front of the heads have no bracket bolt holes drilled n tapped. The porter also left these numbers on the front of the head. The valve sizes show 2.30 and 1.81 for exhaust.

I have'nt decided what cube engine to build with this set as of yet, but I traded my fresh Indy 440-1c heads for them. I made this trade by the post I made and everyone said it would be a good trade for me. The B1's haven't been run since they were sent back from the porter, as far as I can tell with the magic marker nubers, yellow marker on the valves, no signs of carbon. They were also cut for 7/16 pushrods. Looks like all new exhaust valves installed thus the 1.81 size I believe.

I understand the wish to know who did them, but all you could do with the info is guess Hp anyway. If those heads were mine I would put all the cubes in the motor I can, based on what strength I have in the block I want to use. I wish I had done that with my 440-1 heads. I am making good power, but have left some on the table in trying to stay with my converter,gear, tire combo.

He got the heads years ago at a race car garage sale and never bothered getting the info from the guy, then when he took them to his machine shop to see about a build with them on a 440, his machinist said no way on a 440, so there they sat in his closet , fresh built and never run. Since then he has always run Indy heads on everything.
I was thinking 540 or 572, but now thinking 572. It would be nice to know who done these, but either way, as mentioned, they should make some good power.
