Nice work on the pipes and porting.
I have only worked on ports for single ATV engines. Aluminum is much simpler than cast. It's looking fantastic !

Thanks, really got into learning. Being a mild street build plenty of flow now. Amazing when you run air through a ported one how much more flow you get & the sound change. Also keeping velocity & direction of flow in mind.

Will really get into this next build. Going to set up a bench inside to work on them all winter. Lots of good info being shared by the old timers

Think about it, back then you had factory parts & had to modify yourself. basically experiment. My favorite is when a homemade car with stock heads beats a "bought" car costing 10 times as much. Good stuff

Speed Talk used to be a good site for all things engine. Super technical.
Home made flow benches are popular.
 
Crank in, prob get pistons in today if don't get called out much. Only thing in the way of running by fri is pulley & belt system. i prefer older style V & have been looking. have all the stock stuff but a/c & smog delete shortens belts. looking at the bracket that moves power steering pump up a bit & uses 73" belt. Note to self..this engine is reverse direction water pump your 68 & f100 are not !!83 GT crank.jpg
