As promised, here are some pics of the headwork I'm starting.
The stock valves are small, but, should do the job for now.
And removed the head bolt boss in the intake. Talk about a change! Then again, when 1/3 of the port is taken up by a chunk of metal, you'll have that.
I used a jig saw with a metal cutting blade. Yeah, real high tech....and I'll take it out to the garage now, and remove some more metal with a carbide cutter on the die grinder to make the top of the port flush, and get ready to install the lump ports.
Then I'll have to drill and tap the top of the head for a pip plug, and drill a counter sink for the new shortened head bolts.
Thats where she stands now - I'm not thrilled with the progress that I'm making, but progress is progress nonetheless.
