there is a place called rally-design, they specialise in performance parts, i would be lost without them.!  :wink:  

Some good work there mate.

thanks guys, yea i have put quite alot of work and effort into it, got it kinda started yesterday……bit afraid of it now after hearing it fire up!  :?

bearing in mind its only got the 4-1 manifold attached to the block! lol  

Good work.

Quality stuff this dude - what sort of tools did you use to port your head and how long did it take you?

thanks bud, i used a dremmal drill with tunkstan carbine bits to cut the material to the right size, then i used and selection on corn rolls (special shaped sanding heads) to fine out the scratches, then used flappy paper to remove the slight scratches. then i used a polishing bud to buff out the material.

it took about 8hours in total.
