After many, many hours of porting, I am done..... What a job that is. Now wonder people want thousands to port a head and people pay it! LOL

It does look pretty good though.

 

I can only imagine the hours for porting, I have seen a 12v head done, and it was 32lbs lighter after porting...

 

32lbs of material removed??? Yikes..

 

So buddy, did you lite the monster yet? I want to see what you think of that BTH-3B, when it lites up, you look at the guage, you see 80 psi of boost.

 

I was looking at the huge piles of shavings..... and thought I should have done a before and after weighing. No where near 32lbs....... Still do not even have the head bolted on. Looks like I have until oct 17th now! LOL

 

Decent buddy, can't wait to see the twin plumbing again. Would be nice to see you run the set-up buddy.

 

Sorry about the quality of pics.... The 1st one is how much I removed just trying to match up the gaskets. The second pic was just after I did some work to it. The top side was not done yet, I did all six after I flipped the head. Sorry about the crackberry pics. Will try to get some better ones later. After the polishing is done!

 

Pictures???? Pictures????

 

Looking good John,, cant wait to see that baby run!

 

I will ask Farrell for some, I don't ever think of taking pics at the time...

 

Wow, what a difference. Just port matching to the exhaust manifold looks like real improvement.

 

Head is going back to the machine shop..... am looking at zz fabs website When is the dyno in the spring? LOL

 

I really like the turnout of that isky cutting tool on the block.

 

Good man Swamp, you gonna step her up even more? I can't wait to see how it turns out for ya.

 

Just today I ordered up a set of DDP 4's. And I talked a bit with Harry about porting and milling of the intake. Now I ask the fine guru's of abdtr#5 if milling off the intake for a custom one and doing a little porting on the intake side of things is really going to help that much. I was told that most gains would be on the exhaust side. For what I am doing, would all the extra work and costs be worth it?????

But I do have the idea of my own intake manifold cover/air horn hook-up with a big honkin intake and no manifold heaters..... What say you?
