Wow! I guess this means you are really committed to finishing this project! Are you ahead of schedule and will be selling them sooner than you had said? Looks nice. Can't wait.

The Pro Car steering wheel to seat clearance with my 15" steering wheel was good. The seat hardware has height adjustment for the front and rear of the seats. I had added a extra 1" seat padding when I upholstered the seats and it still worked out OK. I found the seats to be very comfortable and made you feel like you were part of the car.

Alright Jay, that is what I will do. Or maybe I should ask Joe if he is looking for some more business.

OK Jay these are my plans for the rebuild. I would like the heads to flow at least 300 at .650. Barry has stated that his heads will flow 289 with 2.20 valves, 3 angle valve job and some simple blending. I would like to open the top of the intake port and one of the sides with the short turn by .1 inch.

I will be increasing the engine displacement to 485 with a CR of 11 to 1. I am going to start off using a comp 308R because I bought it a while back and it is sitting on the shelf. I am adding a one inch carb spacer and will start off using a 850 mighty demon with down leg boosters.

I don't have access to a flow bench for the heads. Maybe I should look harder?

Well surprise surprise. I just looked at the paperwork that came with the heads and I am the proud owner of Edelbrock heads. All the instructions and warranty cards are Edelbrock. I saw the 6005SV casting # on the heads yesterday and was wondering why he used a Edelbrock #. DUH.

When I saw them my first impression was that they would run very well with a little clean up but I would like to make the intake port a little taller and wider. I like these heads a lot and I am clad that I bought them.

I just received a set of Barry's new heads. Here are a few photos of the heads right out of the box.

I guess I should have given some more thought on that one before I posted. The point I was trying to make was that it seems to me that a large volume of air can change temperature quickly when passing over a heated or cooled surface as in a hot air furnace, radiator or airconditioner.

Isn't the intake manifold heat crossover made to warm the incoming air to make the engine run better on cold days?
