Nice, did you have to mill the sparkplug bosses for clearance, or shaving weight?

They were milled for clearance. The bosses were originally there as those castings are used for dual plug applications as well. I milled them to eliminate any potential rocker clearance issues.
 
How was the heat down there yesterday?

It was pretty humid. I degreed a cam, checked piston to valve clearance and measured for pushrods on a stroker RB in the bed of a truck in the heat. Lots of sweating, lol.
 
So these heads finally showed up... I couldn’t help doing a mock up of the top end.

It looks as if there’s just as much work to do to the top end as the bottom. I still need to fabricate injector rail hold downs.

That is absolutely INSANE!!! If you can keep the heads on with those numbers, you are the MAN!!! :lowdown::lowdown::lowdown:
It’ll be on C16 fuel so keeping the heads on shouldn’t be an issue. We’ll be lucky to make half that on 93 pump gas.
