yes, but when I don't know. The inspection will be like the previous video I made on the SM heads I bought in 2020 (??), so I may make it more "project specific". We'll see, it's a long winter ... ha!
I’m a nut. Three more sets of Speedmaster small block Mopar heads. Two bare sets and one complete. Even Leala says I’m crazy.
Not fair!! you got more boxes than me
I only glanced at mine and took a few pics before packing them up. These are the CNC models. Valve cover bolt holes are broken thru and there is a tiny bit of flashing in the rocker shaft pedestals and easy to pop off but at a quick glance everything else looks clean.

Are the chambers CNC machined or plain as cast? They were previous coming through both ways.
Maybe this pic is clearer

When you get a free minute, please lay a rocker shaft on the heads and see if the saddles are machined with the correct radius.
Well I called BTE today to make sure my order was placed on Black Friday. They were nice enough to take my order on Tuesday for a powerglide 1.80 gearset but said he couldn’t run my card till Friday when the Dale started. (The converter sale started earlier) so yes the sale went through and he said the make I think 4 or 6 a day and work Monday to Thursday. He said mine should be done and ready to ship next Wednesday. Then I will have everything for a spare transmission so it will be built and ready if needed. Their sale must have been pretty popular too.
It’s funny what a phone call will do. Gearset is heading my way and will be here Tuesday. Lol

Must be good people too. Sounds like they gave you an honest answer and that, in itself, is valuable.
Slow but sure they are coming in.

Just got my shipping notification from SM!
I just got another job porting a set I bought so I’m glad I bought three sets instead of two.

Still haven't heard anything on mine yet. I ordered Friday morning 25Nov22
Speedmaster Santa showed up yesterday. Just going on an external view, these look good. I will have them checked shortly at the MS.

Who are you talking them too?..
Also I'd love to hear what they say and $?...
Got minez today also. SM unported heads, headbolts, mid rise intake and 1.6 rockers. Will give them the once over during the week when the wife is away. Shhhh....don't tell. Not sure what I am going to do with these yet. Replace the Aussy EQ's on my fresh Magnum with 1000 miles or upgrade my LA 360 it replaced (most likely). On the lookout for an A body roller.
They will go to Somers Machine. I will report back with their findings.

I’m interested in what they do for yours, it’s not exactly close, but I need a trustworthy machine shop. Have you had work done by them before?

I called Don's in Portland a few years ago and was told the speedmasters are junk and will "need" a 100% complete rebuild... They said about $900 or so...
In hind sight I feel stupid for taking them to a shop to pay $95 to tell me they are fine...
I did get a spring rate check out of that and they tore them down and re lubricated them...
