Would anyone in this thread happen to have a good picture of a W2 intake port that has been ported. I’m porting mine right now using the DC templates and it looks like the pushrod bulge needs to be completely removed for the template to fit correctly. But I’m not sure there’s enough meat there...

Not gonna hurt my feelings at all, pretty thick hide on me. Same here. Hindsight is crystal clear……and usually painful.

Trust me, with the amount of money I have wasted on this “W2 journey”, I could have bought a complete cnc’d Indy top end ready to bolt on. I crossed the line between crazy and insane long ago. There is no help for me now…….

Just like the one it is replacing, it started life as a first generation 810E econo head. It was then machined to remove the rocker pedestals, opened the intake valve to 2.08”, cleaned up the deck surface, cut the guides down for positive seals, and lowered the spring pocket a bit.

You are correct. The welding process was a failure. The cracks reappeared right along side the weld bead. It was better than it was before welding, so I attempted to seal the cracks from the inside by pouring epoxy into the water jacket and standing the head on its corner. It initially worked...

Making forward progress again. Porting the replacement head using the DC porting templates. I’m super busy this time of year between working full time, coaching baseball in the evenings, and camping with the family on the weekends so finding even a few minutes here and there to work on it is...

Just curious, what did it make on the dyno? And what cylinder heads?

Rats, appears I have the later version also. Sorry.

I may have the correct one on my shelf. I’ll check tonight after work.

How in theee HELL do guys luck into finding stuff like this??? Unbelievable!

I have a similar 318 build with 8.7-1 compression, 2.02 J heads, and I used the Comp Cams XE268 that has similar specs to yours. I installed it 4 degrees advanced and it has excellent low end performance. Out of steam by 5500 but that’s ok. Just make sure the valve springs are spec’d to the cam...

I’d install it 4 degrees advanced and send it.

:rofl:

Badass car.

The pistons in my 1974 318 were .100” deep. Seriously. Measured with a dial indicator and deck bridge.

My siblings and I and our spouses are really into polka and Oktoberfest. We actually have our own parties in my sister’s basement, complete with decorations, dancing, and traditional German drinking games. There is polka music on the radio in my garage every Sunday morning.

Found. Thank you @66fs !

Honestly, I thought Speedmaster was an Australian company.

It’s actually a W2 smallblock head, but as long as it’s 2.08” x 3/8” it’ll work. Length doesn’t matter. I’ll pm you.

I’m looking for a single 2.08” intake valve with 3/8” stem. Condition is not important. I just want a spare to drop in while I do some unshrouding in the chamber so I don’t nick the valve seat. Better safe than sorry. Let me know what ya got. Thanks

I hope those people don’t give it up….those videos are Youtube GOLD!! I laugh my *** off every time I see some dipshit rag-dolling through the air after getting ***** slapped by a quarter panel. Hahaha!

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Tragedy.

Agreed. I would think the track owners are going to take a big hit because of it also. Friday attendance is going to tank.
