<x-flowed>Marc,
        One other thing you might think about is to have the extrude-hone 
process done on the heads for the porting job.  I have read some amazing 
things about this process and when you think about it having an abrasive 
'silly-putty' like substance running through the ports will smooth out all 
of the rough areas that are obstructing flow, and will only be as abrasive 
as you tell them to be since there are different grits to the putty.  Just 
one more idea to kick around.

'65 Notchback with a Britax sliding rag top. Plans for a 1600cc motor using 
an AS21 case, with a Resto-Custom flavor. Preps underway for installing 
some NOS rocker panels, lifting the body from the pan for a pan restoration 
and welding in some IRS trailing arm mounts onto a swingaxle rear suspension.
