Hey guys,

I'm not much of a posting genius, so forgive me for having to attach the article I wrote in two files instead of posting it but there were too many large pictures (maybe someone can help me there).

Anyway, I recently finished a long a daunting process of porting my Craigslist iron GT40 heads and given that it seems like a week won't pass without someone posting here asking about them - I thought I'd write up an article with pictures on how to port them if you do buy them.

Which by-the-by I wouldn't recommend as there is a false economy to buying and fixing up used heads that you don't know the history on. You'll see that in the write up as well - but to make it short and sweet for a few hunderd dollars more I could have had some whip ass aluminum heads.

Anyway, I hope someone may find this useful at some point in the future.

Good luck if you go down the GT40 route.

Loved it! Great writeup. Nice to hear your opinions along with the results. Most of the time it's just a "how to" without any of the thought process that went along with it. Your story made me LOL to myself as it could have easily been me with these "hard earned" words of wisdom. Thanks for sharing.
