I always like reading your posts John. I wish I had the brains and knowledge to port. Never tried it and probably never will.

I have a question, (out of curiosity, that’s all), don’t take it the wrong way.

Why not step up to the W8-W9 head? With your porting skills, I’ve always wondered why you haven’t tried these heads.

i guess it comes down to timing and budget. I ran small blocks for years then switched to big blocks. Around 2007 I finally bit the bullet and bought a keith black block, calias crank, and B1 heads. So I had soon had two sets of B1 heads and two sets of 440-1 heads that I ran for years. When I wrecked in 2010 I started racing the black 1970 I had bought several years before and it was set up for a small block. To start all over buying good stuff for a small block would be crazy. 48 degree block, heads, rockers, pistons with special ring pak , vacuum pump, belt drive, etc. I mean where would it stop. Honestly I just want to race and go “half-fast” without weekly maintenance. That’s for the younger crowd. But I do like tinkering.
