Default Screaming Eagle heads

Anybody know if screaming eagle heads have a different intake port design, compared to stock or aftermarket heads?

Huey most SE heads have "bigger" ports and valves that stock. Bolts positions seem to be the same.
The design is all over the place.
The very latest ones seem, from what I have read, to be pretty good. But you have to run the matching pistons. This cause the conbustion chamber sizes are all different. A couple even have odd Squish areas.
This is why a lot of people get their stock heads worked on. Less confusing.

I wouldn't even consider using them without having them ported first. There's a lot to be improved upon: http://www.trirycheracing.com/HendersonPerf.pdf
