Rick, you haven't failed, your opinion is appreciated. I just may not heed all your advice because my goals and priorities are different than yours. If someone wants to pay me $3-4k for these heads, I might listen. But I can't see any reason to shelve or sell them just so I can wind up running Edelbrocks like everyone else. I abandoned my 600HP KC Pond motor in favor of a bit milder build when I found this motor, so the performance difference in ported MR heads versus Stage 2 KCs is not a determining factor. If it was, I'd sell all this stuff and buy a KC motor. But it seems rare to have a matching block, heads and crank with a cool barn find story and I lose all that when I start parting this out. So...
I am NOT putting seats in the heads, that's for sure. So the question is...would you port and polish them or just run them? Keith said to tweak the valve grind the way he does it and just run them. Again, I am not looking for 600HP here.
Thanks,
Jim
