I've talked to Zippers in Maryland. But I'm open to suggestions. They could do heads simllar with their 80/80 kit. My bike has EV27 cam and also a Mikuni carb

Good point!
Make sure you check the rods per FSM instruction.
You can do this with the engine in bike cylinders pistons off.

What about Bean Big Boyz? He's in Maine. A kit of people on this forum use his calculators online.
Saying this, I'm not sure if he is still open but he's worth a phone call I'm sure.
