This reads suspiciously like an article in a magazine... Where they like to brag about getting parts used, "diamond in the rough" parts, machine work that came from a "friend of a friend" so it was dirt cheap... Then they brag about how it only cost xyz dollars. I have some colorful language for people like that you know. Why? Because it only angers the rest of us who DON'T know people who port cylinder heads for free, do CHEAP/FREE machine work, and are giving away nice parts. Good for you, the rest of us have to deal in the world where things aren't given to us. To me you're like a guy who won the lottery and bought a ferrari.

oh, PS - throw more info in that eh? what's the cams part number? what's the head flow at a realistic lift number, like .500"? What's the overbore? deck the block? line hone? which rockers, stamped, full roller, aluminum, etc? etc etc?


oh, and what are you going to do with a 12.2:1 engine anyway?!?

 

Well I doubt he's running it on pump gas.
