The 82.5 penciled numbers, is my handwriting.
Those heads flowed very well when checked on our Superflow 600.

Thought the unshrouding looked familiar..... Still waiting to hear from OP on what looked imperfect.... Older heads without ACR's, surprised no MCR's

I think a lot of people mistakenly think ported heads ports and chambers should be polished and shiny, which is not the case. No doubt you'll be happy with the numbers you get with those heads provided they're paired with the correct supporting parts.
