its looking like this spring for install. Ive got a few things like the cf hood to payoff and a couple of things on my z. If a cam becomes available soon I will be jumping on that for the install as well.

Its will be a pretty big install this spring:

62mm fdp TB
Heads
Hopefully cam
FFP UD pulley
P & P UIM, LIM

I dont have the flow sheet scanned in yet so Ill post it as soon as I can.

The heads have oversized exhaust valves, ls1 springs, I believe copper shims, and a few more goodies. You cant read it from the picture cause its blurry but the valves are Manley.

I wish I knew. Ill be pretty happy if I can get 200 to the wheels including cam. There are maybe a couple people out there that may have heads similar but you never see dyno charts so I dont know.

I will be dynoing soon after install but that wont be till spring. :(

I was off on which valve was oversized. This is everything that was actually done.

undercut swirl polished stainless steel manley valves
intake is oversized (think 1mm)
bronze intake valve guides
full port and polish
comp cams LS1 valve springs
new locks and retainers
3 angle valve job

Am I a dumbass, or is the 3400 only a 12 valve? :huh:

2 valves per cylinder so that would make 12, yep.

Whoa.. my cougar was a 24 valve.. no wonder those things looked funny to me lol

wasnt the cougar a DOHC? Those usually have 4 valves per cylinder. Pushrod engines usually only have 2.

How much did it cost ya to get this done?
Alerosince99

quite a bit, but I was willing to pay it to be sure I was getting quality.

I paid over a grand but not by much. I'm sure most would balk at those prices but I think it was very fair for what I got. I did have to wait quite a while to have these custom done but it should be worth it.

I'm still not sure whether to do up the 3.4 or to drop a 3.5 shortstar in and do that one up. Those heads look really nice. If you gave me all of the specs for what you are getting I could figure out how much power you will be making.
shortstar

Hey Navy, I too am looking into the shorstar project but it daunting you have to figure a minumum 5 grand on the swap and builind them up is going to cost quite a bit since they have NO after market. Its an awsome engine with tons of potential though so If you got the change go for it. Im still trying to price shop but this is going to be huge and very costly project if I go through with it.

I really think a cam is a necessity for these heads to see their potential. I'm kinda standing by to see if any of the peeps running large cam projects actually get them to production. Otherwise ill have to crunch some numbers and send in for a regrind.

The goal when I had these heads made were to be altimately for a boosted car. It will be fun to see where they are at for just a big cam. I should have the flow numbers to post pretty soon.
