Thought I'd post some photos of the head I got from Tom Lowe (TLOWE #1716). I am VERY happy with it. Tom took the time to talk to me and built the head that met my needs, even down to springs that fit my cam.
The valves he used are Ferrera Stainless valves with hardened seats on the exhaust valves.
Here you can see the lump ports he got from Twisted6 Larry and installed in my head. Larry was very kind to talk with me at length about my situation. Good guy and I'm glad we're using his lumps!
The top of the head where the head bolt used to go through is tapped for a pipe plug which I installed with sealant to eliminate any vacuum leaks. Because it's a pipe thread (tapered), the pipe plugs can't go all the way into the port, bounce around, and ruin the head.
I won't post any prices but I was very pleased with what I got for my money as well as Tom's responsiveness. He also met my deadline and communicated along the way. I'd not hesitate to use him again should the need arise.
