I have a few leads local to me.  I'd really like to keep machining close to home so I can adjust and tweak things.
First order of business is to get the pallet of head castings that just came in all machined and assembled.
Intake would be next.
The same basic Victor casting, but starting from raw would let me do a few things with port opening, pushrod location, and plenum entry that might make it a bit more attractive

Opening up the port to match the TFS Track Heat head shape and size would be a very good starting point to giving the Victor 427 great port velocity and flow balance.  The TFS port fits inside a Mr G 101 or Fel Pro 1247 MR gasket size.  Joe-JDC

I would hope they would sell... being able to move the pushrod holes would definitely be a good move. Anybody that wants to build a serious FE with a medium riser style head should want one. I know mine has been worked over pretty good and I want to do some more yet but haven’t had time. I have two manifolds one with efi bungs and one with out both dominator flanged. I would think that manifold casting would compliment your heads nicely Barry.

Ok thanks.

Good luck with the project.   

 Yesterday I visited the MR heads I got from you 8 years ago ... LOL

So far the porting  work looks very promising.
