Are the heads you are going to use OEM heads or the later remade ones? A friend of mine bought a pair of the remakes (Kearney Pattern Works) which were beautiful looking but one side was horribly mis-machined, the combustion chambers were 1/8" different in depth from one end to the other tapering as it went. The original company (Kearney) sold their stock of heads out to someone else and luckily, the new owner swapped the bad head for a good one. Just saying, if they are the remake heads check them carefully.
