Take them to a good machine shop and have the valve guide clearance
checked and have the valve seats cut. Do a light clean up of the casting
blend under the seats, .. and go have fun.

The one I flowed before trying to port did not flow the advertised numbers, .. but these days, ..
what head really does. It should do just fine for your application.

It's an OK head for the price, .. but like any inexpensive race part, .. the economics are short term, ..
meaning in general the lower quality that goes with the lower price in general means
the part will not perform well or as long as the quality part, .. and could cost more in the long term.

Should be fun in a dragster, ..
