I need to do a write up on this effort - - maybe after I get some sleep....
Engine performed flawlessly, but score was down just a small amount from my home numbers. We tried some fuel at it which had a minimal impact and just let it run since we knew it was not a contest winning package. Probably should have tossed a couple degrees of timing at it. I was cautious about doing so because it showed a large variance in fuel ratio from side to side with one bank looking really lean - did not know which one to believe in. It showed no sign of detonation and likely could have taken a couple degrees more to puff up the bottom end side of the score a touch.
I mentioned the heads becoming available and two (now three) folks instantly requested info and after a couple phone conversations one of them sent money over instantly. So they are "sold". I am going to see how quickly I could duplicate them for the other gentleman since I did not anticipate that quick a response, but I do have several normal head assemblies to get taken care of first. We can move this discussion off the tech board if you are interested in something similar.
I will also have some nifty pickup truck headers available pretty cheap...
