Carl's former cylinder head is now a resident of my shop, where it's going to get a full rehab, including oversized intake and exhaust valves and some minor port reshaping. It's going to find a new home on a highly modified 261 I have on the drawing board. Putting 1.94 inch intake valves for a Powerglide-equipped spray oiler 235, and 1.6 inch diameter stainless steel exhaust valves for a small block Chevy V8 puts the valve seating area out into a fresh area of the cylinder head where valves have never been seated before. It takes a lot of metal butchery that the average machine shot can't (or more accurately WON'T do), but the results can be pretty impressive on the dyno. Thanks again, Carl, for donating that head to the cause!

Donating?! I skinned you alive on that horse trade. A chicken sandwich, and you let me supersize the drink and fries.
