Re: Ok I am porting my 289 heads

25 years ago, when I was did many pairs of SBF heads, the ports would always come out looking like a "D" shape. This porting job was good for about 40 HP with the 1.54 valves. On this set of 69 quencher chamber heads, (stock with 1.84 and 1.54) I also had 1.94 intakes installed.

The lower right hand side of the exhaust port, there is a water jacket for the spark plug. Watch out for it.

Hard to see in this photo, make sure you de-sroud the intake valve, on the chamber side, that will help a lot too. These heads pushed my 4000 pound Torino to a 13.5 second 1/4 when on my 351W.
