The heads started life as an SE head,but are more like a TE Stage 3 head now. As mentioned before,the ports were raised and widened. Pushrod holes were moved. Lots of sleeves,weld,epoxy,and a lot of patience.
Thank you John! This engine originally had the ported SP2 intake on it,which worked well,but I want something with straighter runners and the whole plenum floor raised up. John had this Mopar Frankenstein that matches my ports very well. Very little tweaking needed. Sending both intakes off to get coated.
I think it started life as an Indy or a Torker intake. I looked at a few other Mopar intakes,like M1,but the runners were too big for my heads,and my heads are big. Rob Giroux makes the adapters.
