I flow all my small block heads on a 4.015 bore. Even my 360-1 heads that I run on a 4.100 bore.

When I missed a year for the first time a few years ago because of health issues I was probably as close to needing meds for depression as I ever was. My family doctor ordered me to get back racing the next spring. The rain earlier this season was messing with my head till I finally was able to...

Hard to believe my last street legal race car was around 40 years ago.

I’m not sure if it’s the original collet or not but it sure is a pleasure to use compared to my old three tapered ball machine. I may still convert it over to a collet setup but if I do I’m not in a hurry to do it.

I tried dressing up a very well used 2.055 Ferrea valve out of an old set of Edelbrock heads my son ran years ago. I bought the recommended white stone and am now grinding with type F transmission fluid and I’m more than happy with the results.

To noisy. Lol

I could watch it all day.

I tried to warn you guys about putting big blocks in these street A body’s. Lol

What’s this have to do about this post???

And keep in mind the head porter of the future may be picking up a grinder today for the very first time. Someone better because we are all getting OLD. Lol

I’ve been blessed with customers that leave the port finish up to me. Exhaust ports get a sanding roll finish. The intake ports get a burr finish. Not a bent burr finish but a common everyday burr finish. I’ve seen some beautifully finished ports and they look great in pictures and probably get...

This would be a great post too. I for one would be interested.

I wasn’t ignoring your question but I don’t like to be “that guy” and answer everyone’s questions on a post that wasn’t started by me. And it paid off because now he’s going to start a fresh post on this exact question. It’s nice hearing replies from everyone not just 2-3 guys.

Ohhh I guarantee you will be making some passes in it. Lol.

Looking great. Can’t wait to see it making passes again.

I used to tell people Orilies sells cheap black carpet for 8.00 a roll but it costs more now.

He would probably take them for rides in his private jet and they could stick their heads out the window.

I’m not buying what you are selling.

Poor puppies

Catching up on parts of this interesting post that I read on the run yesterday. I have a little different thinking on helping guys. I’m a self taught head porter that has probably every book out on head porting and never read one. I do have a copy of a Chevy head porting book that is dumbed down...

Look at lots of pictures and imagine it in 3D. I don’t make port molds as often as I should but probably will when I start my first LS head. I’m not sure you could even get the mold out of on of those damn heads. Lol

Remember my wording when it comes to short side. I lower then shape the short side. A lay back on a piss poor short side like the Edelbrock is a small radius. Now if we were playing with a W2 head or a Chevy Dart Platinum head we are talking another story. Both have beautiful short sides.

When you start keeping a note pad and a port mold on your bed stand you have issues. Ask me how I know.

The airspeed was 401fps pegged on my gauge so I mostly widened then reshaping. It still needs area so I am lowering the shortturn when I get time to touch them. It is way way higher than a stock Edelbrock or Speedmaster head.

A couple time savers for me is after I set my pinch dimensions (on my head rotator) to give me more room to work the port I move on to the common wall and port to the tube. This all gives me better visual and max room. I then flip the head roof side down to raise the roof before I touch the...

For sure it needs lowering. Remember the other point I tried getting across. The common wall slants in, the roof slants down, and the floor slopes up. Each of those areas plus the pushrod side wall has to be worked.

It’s nice to see that some of the things I’ve mentioned over the years has stuck with some guys. I still hear it but not everyday like I used to that guys mention attacking the “pinch”. The pinch needs maximized to available area but only after the shortside is lowered and widened to gain the...

Hmmmm interesting intake port.

In the steel mill Millwright gang we called it a blanket party. When someone acted up we got together and threw a blanket over the offenders head. Then he was issued the appropriate penalty
