Yes , I had a set of 906's done last year , STOCK rebuild though , no porting allowed in the class they were built to run.

Monte I was thinking the same thing as I was reading his post. I have 5 sets of these heads, so I would like to see the tally.

Good Stuff, Thanks Do you really think, the average guy, or even most Mopar guys are going to notice if you have iron J heads. or iron RHS heads....not likely. I am not knocking anything Dwayne has done here. He does fantastic work, but he is also showing how much work, it takes to PROPERLY repair a set of used up factory heads, which most are. Only trying to point out, that unless it is a resto, or you just MUST have factory iron, there are lots better and cheaper ways to go. Monte
