Brian, That 360-3 Manifold will be the last INDY part you'll be buying through me. I "got" it too..
You have a PM. So what the hell is everyone "getting"??
Is it me, or is this getting thrown waaaaaay out in left field??
That 4.250 bore crack was aimed as a joke conscerning porting templates, and as you can see by the pics, I went way beyond that.
I figured scottsmith harms was just joshin' me and so I figured why not "josh" him back.
As I see, he wasn't joking....so???
You know it's funny on here, when I think guys are serious, they aren't and just the opposite, when I think guys are kidding, they aren't!!
Anyone else have this happen? I can't be the only one????
So anyone care to share the "inside joke" with me??????????
Cause you guys got me on this one...and now it seems others are disturbed by it. Ofcourse.
Maybe this is why so many of the engine builders/machinists have left here because of crap like this!
Maybe the MODS should just scrap this post...

Don't worry about it Brian. you have some PM's BTW that is a pile of iron to move on a W2 intake port, looks good, now you have to finish the other 7.... 1 port is always fun to do, it's the last 7 that suck  They should run real well, I really like that 47 CC chamber in those heads, excellent shape to it & depth. The 55 & 65 CC Closed chamber 18* stuff is an OK chamber shape but way too DEEP, the 47 is real nice depth & overall shape, much better on the plug side wall than the 18* stuff.

I hear ya Brian and that`s part of the reason I only respond to certain posts and havn`t posted myself. After Mr. Chris C ran his mouth and PRETENDED to be a tough guy on hear and call me out only to hide and not return my call,it changed my "trust factor"on here. I don`t like people very much and crap like this confirms my "aggressive" approach to certain BS. Nice porting by the way.

I think the best guideline to give your buddy is to send his heads to Brian or some other professional head porter that has a good reputation for results on those type heads. As he indicated it is very easy to grind a good head into being a bad head BTW, don't ask me how I know about results from home porting
Well that's what I did myself (sent them out) and also reccomended to him already. He prefers to do things himself and learn in the process (mistakes being accepted as paying his dues). Frankly I don't see it as a big deal as long as he accepts all possibilities going in, afterall, even the best porters out there had to do thier "first" set.

You know, I have to say that I am absolutely fascinated by cylinder heads. Port shape, port speed, mach index, CSA, the fluid dynamics part of it, etc...all really interests me. But what I figured out pretty quick is that even though I'm very interested in it, I don't have the time or practice to be good at it.
What's the chances that the first set of W9's I port will be nearly as good as someone like RyanJ who has probably ported 50 sets of them?
Too expensive and HP dependent of a part for me to "learn on". I'll do machine work, trans builds, rear gear setups, etc... but when it comes to heads, you couldn't spend your money any better then to send it to someone who really knows what they are doing.

Nice work Brian. By the way I find it funny that the guy who finally came up with a good 59 degree roller lifter still has a flat tappet cam

Yeah...LOL! I get that sometimes.
I had just freshened my engine when we were starting the design phase of those lifters. Plus to change to a roller, I would have had to go with different rockers and I just didn't want to throw more $$$ at my current engine because of the new engine sitting around the shop in pieces.
My engine is for sale by the way...made 560HP, econo W2's etc....
The new 360 should be on the dyno maybe mid May...
unless I win some $$$ the 25th at Fontana...but I won't be holding my breath! LOL!!

Slim to none is the answer, but he's not a total rookie, he's ported a few sets of J heads and 906's, just no W2's
