asund24 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 agree, also with little, to no experience..work at it for 5-10 years then i may consider it.ho holly crap guys you must have had bad experiances before. I am currently working on a set of 706 and 317 heads. I will post pics here in a bit of working progress. I do know how to port but most of the heads will be cnc done. Now the cnc part won't be free but once i talk to you on the phone you will have no problem sending them to me. trust me i know what the worry is about and it probably doesn't mean anything to say that SAM is the Harvard of race engine building schools. So before one more person says that I'm going to steal your heads or mess them up do you do diligence and research the school and talk to me on the phone. I have no doubt once i post pics and do a set of heads for you guys that i will have to turn down work because there is to many request.

Come on man, what niche truck forum couldnt use this kind of guy in their corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I agree. I know a few grads of SAM and they offered the same. They got the practice they needed and others got a good product out of them. The school has a great program and gives the students freedom to contribute to the sport/hobby of others. I have another set of heads I won't be running so I might have him play around with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopnewton Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'm not trying to run the guy off if he's legit. My first post was just a little warning after seeing guys like Onebadcobra and Augustburnsred on here, not that this guy is like either one of them. He just seems a little over confident to me all things considered. His comment about being able to produce a product better than 99% of what is out there considering he's still in school seemed a little suspect to me. Anything CNC'd can only be as good as the cad data your programming it to, the person programming it, the machines running the programs, and the tools cutting the chips. Although his school may be good I doubt it has instructors and equipment that are better than 99% of what is out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asund24 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hey guys, i was going to put some pics of a set of 243s that I finished up and getting ready to put on a C5 today for a head and cam swap. This was a CNC, valve job, and blend. They flowed 315. Do I need to put the pics up on photo bucket first or is there a way to take it of the computer?

Mr.Scary Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I have a set of 317s that I acquired some time ago. I haven't used them because someone broke off header bolts in them, and ruined one of those holes trying to drill it out. its a shame a nice set of heads just sits in my garage.. ive thought about getting them fixed, but never found the time to look someone up...

12'SROCK Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Its not just about cfm... dyno gains and port design/velocity are what matter. Whose cnc program is it the schools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is a couple things you can do. One way is to use a helicoil, if it's worse then that we would have to weld it up. This is something I would be interested in doing. Please pm with you info and I can give you a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asund24 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Its not just about cfm... dyno gains and port design/velocity are what matter. Whose cnc program is it the schools? I agree with you 100%. Just because your heads flow better doesn't mean it will run better in the car. There are people out there that just build heads to out flow everyone on the bench. We port and digitize our own cylinder heads. Edited August 20, 2014 by 03SSSAM (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coal miner Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'll let you have a go at mine depending on price and turn around time. There the 243 vette heads if that makes a differnce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NipRing Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 If it works out well, I'll send my brand new 243s too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
