No worries! Thanks for taking notice. I just didnt want this thread to be taken over by posts about a possible flaw in my block. Then, the next thing you know my car will be known as the Ironman Kirkham with the cracked 527fe, and if i ever go to sell it...

Sneak Peak Pictures of shortblock to follow in just a bit.

Special thanks to Keith Craft Racing for installing larger valves, porting, and setting up the heads to the correct specs for their camshaft. Overall i ended up with a 3,000 set of heads thanks to that wonderful company in Kentucky that Starts with a P and ends with an S. I should have gone with Keith Craft from the get go and i am still not real sure why i chose the KY based Company.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the heads

Exhaust porting job by KC

Intake Port

It looks like i am going to need to do a little port matching on the intake. Look at the size difference. :O
