Stopped by the shop again.
The head on the left is mine. The one on the right has not been done yet. Gives you a good idea of before/after.

Valve seats and porting all done by Jeff himself.
These should flow real nice.

Re: 454mag rebuild in progress

Nice to see someone still using solid flat tappets!! Solid flat tappets really rap out a tune! What is the anticipated WOT RPM?

Re: 454mag rebuild in progress

Sweet. I guess the KE exhaust is pretty resistant to reversion. What would you think would be the largest cam I could run with Rev Marine(Gil copy)without getting into reversion?
