I still don't see the point of using the 194 head?? If the open chamber head performs beter than the 194 head out of the box and with lump ports installed for a street engine the choice seems obvious! If your going to the expense of having a head reworked for racing aren't you still better strarting with a better head? Hank I see by your signature you are using a 12 port head and you (MBHD) brought up boring, "This is another option ,so you would not have to pull out your engine,take it apart,possibly have to bore the engine etc,etc,etc." , I can take a set of small valve, low compression SBC heads and make them perform but dollar wise and time wise I'm ahead of the game to buy a better performaning stock head or an aftermarket unit.
