318 head porting for the average joe

volaredon said
I have a set of 302 heads here on the shelf fresh from the machine shop (ok 3 years ago but still not mounted on an engine) and yes I plan to pull them apart this summer and clean them up, mostly just casting flaws and yes I'm gonna RUN THEM... On a 318, even. Ok let the boo birds chime in.... Too bad it's what I'm doing.
And I have a 2nd set of these heads to get thru the machine shop so I can do the same thing to them.... They're what I have, and they're what I'm gonna use....... Can't be any worse than the 163 heads I have now.....

Nothing wrong with that, obviously if your hp goals aren't high, 200-275hp than stock 318 heads are fine, but at some point if the goal is more power something has to be done with the heads and for most especially people that aren't gonna port your gonna have to move up to some type of 340/360/magnum head, no matter how hard Hysteric champions the SMALL.
