My heads are TEA, total engine airflow, stage 2.5 317s. They have been decked to 69cc from the 71 cc, i think that is about .020 off the head. They have comp cams double springs, competition hand porting, 2.05 Ferrea intake valves, and 1.60 exhaust valves. They also have the Judson port design, which was the best flowing port design at that time. Heads are pretty much new at this point, i just had them gone through. New valve job, new seals, new guides, new chromemoly retainers and locks. Springs are used but they said are fine, set up at 140 on the seat and 400 open at .600. Springs are good for .6-.625 lift.

Flow numbers are:

I E
.1 68 51.7
.2 140.4 118
.3 208.7 170
.4 267.1 215.2
.5 302.6 260.6
.55 318.8 271.5
.6 328.7 279

Got a hood the other night.. needs paint

looks like the hood V had on clifford, looks good when painted on on the truck.

[MidwestSS]

yeah im gonna drop that off next saturday at the body shop for paint.
if cash wasnt the issue right now, id have them do something custom on it.. plain ole bloo is fine for now.

Cool hood. Is that a dent in the middle left? Bondo on a hood sucks especially on a new hood.

[MidwestSS]

not a dent as much as a slight depression in the metal.
anyone know how much 2 pints of arrival blue paint would cost?

Nice flow #s on the heads..
