    Picked the Dart cylinder heads up from the machine shop. Went with a local shop here in town, real nice folks who have been building engine for a long time. They got these heads knocked out in timely manner, which was awesome. They were also really nice and happy to talk with me about the set up. Will Garza put in a bit of work in to the heads and picked them up a bit. The guy before did an awesome job as well and his work was really clean, at the time though just given the set up there wasn't a whole lot of point to go nuts on the heads. So don't take this as shop A vs B because I still have a lot of respect for the original head porter and his work. Any case they also replaced the 2.02 intake valves with 2.08s. The spring/retainer combo is the Manley Nextek with TI retainers that A.I spec'd for the cam. Lesson I learned on after market heads, it's cheaper to do every thing all in the first go round. Sunday the car is scheduled to go to paint, in the mean time the short block will become a long block.

    Not sure if it matters but I noticed above .400" one head seems to outperform the other by about 5%. I wonder if that had something to do with the bench or maybe one side got a little more attention than the other?

    The head flow numbers are a before and after. He flowed them before he started.

    Loaded the old heap up and sent it to paint today. Next weekend the long block will start going together on the stand.

    I agree with Fastbird, your car is one of my favorite cars too. I would love to see your car in person. I live in the Clear Lake area so when you get it running I would like to see it run. I bet it sounds like a beast!
