Just to let every one know the head is working very well. It really comes alive at around 3000 rpms Thanks to all for the good words on this project, it really was fun. Special thanks to DJ Moordigian for talking me into turning the carb 90 degrees. That helped it to run even better. Click on my name and see all the pictures of the head if you missed the original thread.

George, you are a source of inspiration. Thank you for that thread. I enjoyed it! All the best in your future projects don
For sheer gumption the cylinder head design and fabrication wins, hands-down. George Miller, I salute you. Don Dolmetsch is well qualified to appreciate the task, but I'm sure he's not the only one, SO it's up to the top for the east coast 9-5ers.
