Just received a set of 8.1 BBC heads to look at and play with. All I can say is WOW! Finally a BBC head with all intake ports being the same. The casting finish in the ports is real good and the shape of the ports are great except for the hole for the intake rocker stud in each intake port. But that can be fixed!! The exhaust ports look raised and do not have a dropped floor and roof that a lot of auto heads have. They look a lot like the raised exhaust ports in my Dart heads. Plus they must CNC the ports by the gasket surfaces (for gasket match I am told) and under the valve seats to blend into the bowl as everything there looks (and measures) to be exactly the same. The finishing looks like the SBC Vortecs which fliped me out the first time I saw them as the finishing looked as good or better than most after-market heads.

Now I can't wait for the aftermarket to come up with intake manifolds. I'm already getting ready for the next engine... :rlol:
