 Very cool!
Got one of those 440 source heads ported and it worked great. Just swung rig around to get all angles from same stool position.
I'll say this about 440 source THEY AINT EDELBROCKS!!!! Money spent better than on cast but they are well CHINESE!!

I agree with Mike Raff. Any head will pick up significant horse power if you sand roll the throats and work the short turn on the exhaust port with wedge heads. Just be careful you don't damage the seats.
My guess is its worth 30-50 HP over a bare casting for a couple hours of patient work.
