714 heads

TXStang84, thanks so much. I've been searching for over a week on half a dozen forums and hadn't found half the info you just supplied. I've been obsessed. I'll try looking for that hot rod article you mentioned above.

I thought about an intro, but I'm building a truck. I tried those forums first but didn't find any answers so I started looking at other forums that might know about the LA/Magnum heads.

I have been thinking about trying my hand at some mild porting. And maybe try unshrouding the valves but I've got a lot to learn about the process. I read somewhere that templates were made for porting magnum heads, but I couldn't find them for the the 318, only the 340/360. Any leads?
