Nice ramps. The store bought ones are too steep to really drive up without hanging the bumper.

Yea the ramps are only about 5" high but it's enough to be able to get jack under it easier and craw under it to change the oil. Once I get the car done I plan to epoxy the floor and bolt the ramps to the floor so it's easier to work on in garage

Is he porting them too or just milling them?

milling them valve job and springs... i'll be taking the EGR bump out of them and maybe cleaning up the casting on the intake side. they are the GT40M heads which have the bump but no EGR. im hoping we dont go to far since the M heads have 67CC chambers not sure if the chamber is higher or just a different shape. the end result will be needing to take rick the short block to have the pistons cut also

a 6" bit tip extension and a 3" bit tip extension... turns out the oil pump shaft fits in a 1/4" hex shaft perfectly

talked to rick yesterday... hes going to have the heads done by the end of the month... which is cool with me since i knew he had a back log of stuff to do since everyone always waits till the last minute for hot rod weekend...

he's going to do a few other things with the heads like some porting and polishing and removing the EGR bump
