We'll need to get some pictures of the bowl area and exhaust ports to know for sure. But looking at what you've shown us so far, I don't think so.

Looks like a gasket match, ONLY, to me. Maybe a poor one at that. Lots of casting flash, and bumps still in there. Rember what one calls ported, dosen't mean beans to others.

I agree with the post above. I call mine ported and polished when in actuality they are pocket ported, and the exhaust side was polished. Here are some pics.

WHAT you cut out the swirl ring!! Just kidding. That what the guys at the machine shop told me. He said i ruined my heads. I did cut a LOT more of the guide off of mine though, and finished the runners with 60 grit drum rolls, on the intake. And took a lot more out of the exhaust. I'm not looking for a lot of miles from this engine, either. Just love to see those ls1 guys frown!
