    Ported 287 G head for sale

    Now that I've been porting manifolds for a few years I've been dabbling with head porting. I've now done about 3-4 heads for myself and some local folks. I have all my own ported stock manifolds and head on my full weight shadow and has run a best of 12.3@112 MPH in the 1/4 mile on pump gas.

    So, I have a BARE 287 G head I just finished porting up.
    This 287 head is from a TBI application, I try and find N/A heads on purpose because they have NO cracks between the seats, not even hairlines. I guess TBI heads just don't see the same heat that the turbo heads have.
    This head would be perfect for a +1mm application, or stock valves will work as well. My recommendations are to have the head surfaced, jet washed to remove all the metal in the passages, and a fresh valve job done. I would also recommend a surfacing of the manifold flange side of the head. Then this head will be ready to rock and roll.
    Work done to the head includes valves deshrouded and chambers polished, bowls shaped and reworked, intake ports opened to gasket and blended with a slight taper to maximize velocity, exhaust ports taken to 1/16'' from the gasket and blended. This head should flow VERY well. No disappointments.
    I ran a conditioning disk over both surfaces just to clean them up. The flash of the camera makes it look a little funky.
    Cam caps are all intact and no stripped bolt holes. I don't waste my time with junk heads.
    Price is $150 + shipping to your zip code.

    I can throw in the valve keepers and retainers, they are the same between turbo and TBI. I'll also throw in the intake valves too. So all you need to make this a complete head is turbo exhaust valves, valve seals, and some good springs. That should save you some expenses and I'm not doing anything with them anyway.
    So here's what you need done at the machine shop after you've acquired the valves, springs, and seals-
    Have the head jet washed
    surfaced (machine shops automatically take the minimum amount possible)
    Also have them surface the manifold flange side
    valve job
    assembly with proper valve spring clearance

    The machine shop bill should stay around or under $200, and I'm going by prices in my area which I'm told are very high.
