I tried porting myself and hit the seats pretty good. At first I bought some 06 up heads to use but gave Scott call and he thought he could pull a miracle off. I really didn't want to use the 06 heads as they are diamond cut and I would've needed to do the jugs to match and I really like the stock look better.

We need to set the combustion chamber volume, final wash, and assembly, and they are done.
