A while ago I thought somebody posted a port and polish web site for heads. Does anyone remember the link???? Thanks Monte

Was that it?

Standard abrassive's site has a DIY on it.

Beat you to it Steve tongue.gif

Yes, but the shortest route is the..., aww nevermind. :D

If you want some more photos of a set of sbc heads, look at www.webshots.com (http://www.webshots.com) under 'oldanimotorsports' (all one word) for the ones I have still there. They show some of the basic ideas on what you are after. The heads are a set of Canfields that flow 305 @ 28" at .700" on the intake side with only a 210 cc port. :D

Do you port heads too Steve? Or is that someone elses work in those pictures?

Too cheap to pay someone else, lol. I did them myself. I have access to a good flowbench at a local shop that most have never heard of, yet many have seen their work. It is called R & J Performance here in Cedar Falls. Roger "Radar" Lechtenberg and Pete Williams are the two guys there. Radar has raced about everything there is from sprint cars to the nostalgia front-engine fuel dragster that he won the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion at Bowling Green, Kentucky with this fall. Pete drove for Austin Coil in the late 70's and won an IHRA national event with the Chi-Town Hustler nitro funny car. Radar and the guys there were the ones who did the dirty work for Dave Koeffel and Mopar and designed the original B-1 Mopar aluminum heads. They have done work for guys like John Force, Kenny Bernstein, Tom Hoover, Tommy Johnson Jr., Walker Evans, and the list goes on. One of the ex-partners there is now at Brodix. Usually they let me use their flow bench in return for flowing customer's heads and writing down the info on the flow sheets for them. Not a bad tradeoff IMO. The Canfields were bought when they first came out in the mid 90's, and are the 197 cc version, which was all they had then. They were angle-milled by Pete and the valve job was done on Serdi equipment. The rest of the intake face correction and bolt hole corrections were done by him too. Then I attacked the ports myself, working steadily until I had the flow numbers I wanted along with a small port volume and cross-section. It is time-consuming to do, but I am happy that I did it myself. I did my own trannies, rear end assembly, and engine assembly too. I ported the Bowtie intake, did the carb main body porting and baseplate throttle shaft thinning myself too. The only thing I did not do was the boring, honing, decking, and align-honing of the block. And, I balanced the pistons myself but had the dome profiling done by Patterson Racing in Kansas. The crank and balancing was done at Lunati, where a friend used to work. I always figured that if I blew something up, at least I only had one person to blame unless it was a part failure, lol.

Just a warning, you'll probably be getting an e-mail from me with a few questions about the porting in the next few days.

As always, thanks for the info Steve graemlins/thumbsup.gif
