hi Doug. that's not the jig, the little triangle piece of wood in front of the head is my angle gauge. the jig will be a robust item.
Harry, I'd love to pick up a milling machine, but it's just not in the card$ right now.
here are some pics of the plastic spacer to go between the heads and the thottle body. they will seal off the cis notch. with big-port heads this may be a bigger problem.
a little outline of my plan:
I'm going to use these heads on my test mule 3.0 engine to get the MFI sorted out. I have another 3.0 case, 3.2 crank, and big-port heads for the final version of this engine. once I know I can make this work, I'll get the big-ports machined professionally, cis notches filled, and twin-plugged. the final engine will be a 3.2 or 3.4 ( depending on the pistons/cylinders I can find/afford) with MFI, 10:1 compression and twin plugs.
so I don't want to get too carried away on the first version. it's just to work out the MFI bugs. then I'll probably put this engine back on carbs and stick it in my '73. the 3.2/3.4 is where I'll spend the $$ on machining, etc. and will go in my SWB hotrod. hoping for 300 hp. this engine currently makes about 250 hp on webers.
3.0 dyno day - a pleasant surprise
