I have a set of Magnums, off my "need to be rebuilt" 5.2 that I am going to put on my new "used" 360.
I am also removing the center divider in the kegger manifold, and porting the runners to match gaskets.
My question is on the heads. Supposedly Magnum heads outflow traditional LA heads, but I can scarcely see how. The intake runner is as wide as my thumb, and I do not have Megan Fox's thumb.
I am pulling the heads apart tonight, to get started. This will not be an aggressive port, but rather remove obvious obstructions, and streamline the airflow path.
Thoughts?

- How much material is there in the pushrod pinch area for porting?
- Does anyone have any pictures of home ported heads
- how much benefit (HP and TQ) do basic ported heads offer?
