Thanks for all the feedback everyone. It looks like they did a bowl cut on the exhaust side but not on the intake side. There's some sizable ridges around the valve seat that will have to be dealt with. I think I've settled on gasket matching and port cleanup, it's fairly obvious where the...

Some of you may have seen my post in the welcome wagon but if now I'm going to introduce my long-term 1969 Charger project. I'm a little slow to the build thread but better late than never I guess. Apologies in advance for the long-winded intro but hopefully something in here will help someone...

That '62 looks awesome, nodust, that's exactly the way I've approached my build. I want it to be safe, reliable, and comfortable and it's pretty close to that point now. I've been driving it and chipping away at little projects without disabling the car for too long at once. That's exactly my...
