318 head porting for the average joe

Seriously (Short side radius ) meaning the shape of the bottom of the port pathway. That's number one ,to win the game. And a books and chapters to read ,to get it right. Or grab a bad cylinder head ,and not carve ,and ask questions.
"Pushrod pinch"? That's the restriction you see on an LA head ,around the pushrod. Unless you need 280 c.f.m. on a,intake port. Don't worry about it.


Agreed!
It's not the restriction that you may think. The ssr is vary capable of doing its job with a little cleanup. When you start to change the shape of the ssr, you disrupt EVERYTHING in the port and the combustion chamber.
