Well some of you might have looked at my other thread on the head, here's some update pictures
this is a picture of me checking the valve lift, valve stem height affects total valve lift, the shorter the valve stem the more lift. Cam card showed it should have 0.55" lift on the Exh and 0.533 intake lift, my readings showed 0.556 Exh and 0.546 intake lift, close enough for me

SEXY! I want one!!! :D
Machanical dream for sure... Somebody pinch me!! That will surely be a runner!!!
does the #1 intake runner have "weiand" cast into it?
It does, from what I'm told, it's a Spearco knock off
Looks really cool!
I think it would look good in my 72... For sure.
