Port my own heads?

Brian, no sweat on the gasket I was just wondering the reason for it ,I've never used one cause i could never find a place to get a new one and they never come in a gasket kit yet always there when I've torn an small block down, however I am still curious what the actual torque spec of the pump is and is a dab of blue loc tite ok on the bolts?

Turbo dart thanks for the advice on the heads I would really appreciate some pics of your work.

Cracked back Here is a better list of whats done to the car as it is right now:
408 stroker 10:1 KB forged pistons, scat rods edelbrock heads (right out of the box) with a set of comp roller rockers and a comp cam .545 int/.545 exh &241 int/ 247 exh duration @.050 110 degree lobe sep, edelbrock air gap dual plane manifold, Hooker super comp headers (1 5/8) into 2 1/2 tti exhaust, holley 4150 series carb 750 cfm, stock tank with 1/2" fuel line front to back and a holley elctric fuel pump ,Summit digital box with limiter set to 6450. Its backed by a 727 built by Coan with a manual reverse valve body, 10" coan 3500 conveter 3.55 gears and frame connectors from mancinis. I plan on running 28x9 14" M/T slicks again. since going to the track I got the cars breaking up issues straightened out. The mph was'nt the slicks not hooking or anything it was just the way the car felt on the track was weird to me so I kept letting up mid track or so plus it was breaking up @ 5000. Unfortuneatly never got back to the track after fixing the issues but for what its worth It went 12.66 @ 106 with a 1.80 60 ft time (I found my time slips finally I was wrong in the beginning of this post sorry bout that. this is what is on the slip) pete
