273 302 318 340 build
So thanks to Mike/ 2darts, I picked up the 302 heads today. He made the purchase for me(3 hours away from me) and then also had a friend bring them closer to me!
When I picked up the heads he had a surprise waiting for me..an absolutely awesome Tshirt from Moparfest. And an autographed Mr Norms placard!! Very very cool!
The heads appear to be pretty clean. Valves are 1.78 and 1.50. Looks like the intake ports were smoothed out a bit. Mainly flash removal. Doesnt appear to be any work in the bowl area.
Machinist quoted me $80 per head to mill them. He said that he generally goes .030" without an issue. Im going to clean up the valves, then relap, then cc and then take them into shop to see what we will do.
I have done some reading/research on valve "shrouding"? Can anyone provide more info on this??
I figger the investment in these will help no matter what shortblock I end up going with.
Seller also threw in a Streetmaster, couldnt go wrong on the deal. Probably go with LD4B tho
So I noticed 2 spots in the combustion chamber that appear to be "zits"?? I circled them in yellow. Should these be a concern?
Also how far has anyone milled the 302's? And did they do intake side as well as block side?
Thanks all, and thanks again Mike!!
