cleaning up the slant six head

1930 said

How does the head flow in comparison to a stock head, what was the cost of having the work done and do you feel the money spent was justified?

Did you do the work yourself? How was it done, must have been some sort of guidleline that was followed.

Looks good BTW

I did the head many years ago, never seen a flow bench, did it by feel and look......port matched.
I had it on a slant that was 0.060" over, mild cam, headers, 2 & 1/2" exhaust, Mercury Turbo muffler, 2bbl intake, 350 Holley, regraphed (points) dizzy, Bosch GT40 coil, 14" open aircleaner, heavy duty clutch, BW 4sp close ratio box, 3.45 gears.....and would leave a 1973 XA Ford GT 351C Hardtop behind, and would run out at 120 mph.
Tried it on a drag strip, street tyres let down to 18 psi, and all I could get was a 16 sec 1/4 @ 89 mph.....was spinning into 3rd gear.....but on street asphalt, whole nother story.
