Project Midnight Swinger

Yeah, something went through the oil. My guess is whatever broke out of the intake bolt threads on those 906 heads probably didn't get cleaned out and happened after the build at some point.
You're right to be concerned and taking it to the machine shop. Too bad you weren't in Washington I would have liked to have helped you out on that stuff.
For putting money into an engine that's going to be up to you, does it look like the heads will work on the 383, will the valves clear the bores ?
So far everything looks good, and from what I’m reading the bore shrouding isn’t and issue unless I was .600+ on the life. Luckily I got these heads from a FABO member @Red_Duster and he ran them on his 383 with no issues.
