Mild Port Cylinder Head Offerings

[BadFastGTC]

I wanted to let you all know I will do mild port work for those interested. I guess a lot of people thought I had but two offerings, but that is not the case. I can operate around almost any budget. Feel free to call me, pm me or email. My phone is 717-226-3814, email is 1989GTC@gmail.com. I currently have a couple of these under construction. I polished up the stock valves before grinding seats for this one. Prices will vary depending on head condition and options chosen, but should range between $650.00 & $800.00.

As someone who talked with Steve on the phone I have to say he is an awesome guy more than willing to answer all my questions. I definitely will go with him once i get the funds.

Just wanna say that I'm currently having Steve do some work for me and he truly knows what he's doing! Very easy to work with and has lots of useful knowledge to help with your build.

jeggggssssss


I'm assuming you do 16V (TIII, Masi, and 2.4) heads also?

[speedfreek500]

George, the picture was purposely taken with JEEGGSS in mind!

Steve: Do you work on G heads or 655's?

Thanks
Randy

[BadFastGTC]

G-heads, yes. I would not waste my time with the 655, or yours for that matter.

Why not? The 655 is the bomb! {just kidding}

Seriously Randy, have Steve do you a 445/287 G-head and you won't be disappointed. He's been doing these for a long time and has the professional credentials to back up his work (ie: "professional" means: not related to the TM world ;-)

Steve and Steve:
Thanks for your kind words and both of you each have unequaled reputations so I have to tread lightly but as to the 655 head, I just have to try one. I was "summoned" to this head that was in the back of a shed and it was calling out, clean me up and I'll reward you.

Also. I have an 86 Omni that I bought new and in 1997 I built it up using the complete Super 60 package. I finally blew a head gasket last year so I pulled the head and am going to re ring it and do a valve job etc. Then I thought, what about having Steve clean up the big valve MP Super 60 head? I thought it might be interesting historically to have some one like Steve evaluate one of these old heads and clean it up.

My Super 60 cam still looks great after all these years. Must be special "degrease" (old Duntov joke)

Thanks
Randy

Steve, I need to talk to you tonight about that audio CD you have. I will call sometime after 7:00 most likely. Randy, I think you should resist the dark side and stay away from the 655, but that is your choice. If you must try it, build both a custom intake and a header (not a log manifold) to try and get the exhaust port to act like one. I have reworked a number of the MP heads. I think I still have the flow numbers for the MP head I flowed for Gus many years ago. I will check and see.

Hey Steve, I'll be here tonight.

Everything bears looking at again... someone might come up with some "dirty hack" that makes your teeth itch to think about that actually works good.

RW, the boys at Chrysler already did when they came out with later model heads. The effort required to make a good working 655 is more than I would direct people to do for a variety of reasons. I would rather attempt to make Hillary Clinton an attractive woman.

[RoadWarrior222]

A quart of tequila and a paper bag won't work? ... oh, see what you're saying.

You know in all the years I've known people that are paid to port heads, or anything else. I have never heard of anyone but you insist that there work not be checked. Lonewolf doesn't care and even has refunded people that have ended up unhappy. FM doesn't mind even Tyler doesn't care.

Yet Steve here point blank tells his customers NOT to. I find that pretty interesting. Here in town all the guys I know that port heads have them flowed by the same guy, Dick Flynn. Same guy, old man, does those cool figure 8 super stock Hemi ports. Among a lot of other custom stuff.

I have a few of my 655s done, haven't had a chance to have them flowed. Then Luke got a head from Steve here and Jay has one of Tylers heads. I suggested having Steves worked tested along with my heads and Jay's head form Tyler, just to see how they stack up. Apples to apples, completely 3rd party, not like I'm flowing them as I don't have a flow bench. Apparently this is a big problem with Steve. You talk the talk, you guys sit around like old hens bad mouthing the 655. Yet a completely bias 3rd party chance for you to put the debate to rest comes up and you can't handle it. I am at least curious. I've heard great things about your work. I don't see how it should be the least bit of an issue as you believe the 655 is junk, but there it is.

I do admit, if I was selling porting work. That I wouldn't want a lot of photos of my work floating around where other people can see it. My self I don't push porting, I don't have time for it hardly at all. So I freely post up photos of my work, I believe Tyler does too, even seen LWs heads online and FM CNC heads. But still to keep your work secret has merit. So why not let your work get tested in a black bag? I don't have to be there, actually I've never been there when Dick works lol. Even the install of the head on the van is treated like top secret around here, which is fine, I don't care to see it anyway really. Just a shame you don't have the confidence in your work to have it tested.... I was really looking forward to it, as your the best.

782 head, +1 valve, Menegon ported.......How about 12.95 on 13.5 psi, 8 valve, super 60 turbo. Pretty good port work I'd say. Real world testing trumps flow bench testing. Overall air flow doesnt mean everything, ever heard of velocity?

Lol totally agree. We don't race on flow benches and dynos here.
